From the front flap of the Tor first edition: "Ever since warp travel was banned, two hundred years ago, the Draconian System has been cut off from the rest of the universe. There are no laws or governments in the System, only a bizarre and decadent society in which every man, woman, mutant, or clone is out for themselves. For the rich and the resourceful, there are worlds full of incredible pleasures and exotic amusements. Everyone else faces slavery or violent, sudden death. Magen is a ruthless mercenary and assassin, surviving by her wits alone, until she discovers the ancient Jewish faith of her ancestors. Despite her bloody past, she struggles to build a new life. But when her beloved husband is abducted by the corrupt slavers' guild, Magen must go to war again - to save the very man who taught her not to kill. Packed with acid duels, sub-orbital dogfights, and a daring assault on a forbidden world, Warp Angel is a colorful and exciting roller-coaster ride of a book, and unlike any you have read before."
