Heretic priest turned data pirate, Eric Born has run from his past for years. Then his steady clients - a self-proclaimed master race called the Vitae - kidnap a mysterious pariah named Aria Stone from the Realm of the Nameless, the shattered, pre-technological planet Eric fled long ago. Priest and peasant plunge into a mystery mixing myth, genetics, artifacts, aliens, AIs, slavery, and Reclamation. Now Eric is on the run from his own masters, and even his telekinetic abilities and Aria's wits may not be enough to save them...

Review of 'Reclamation' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

Large book about larger space empires that felt small - only a few locations were visited. Aliens who felt very alien, but mostly humans. Psychic powers, exiles, politics, genetic manipulation, slavery, and a hidden planet. Pick a few of these for an episode of Star Trek; this novel picks them all and feels crowded.

Reclamation is Sarah Zettel's first novel, and was nominated for the 1997 Philip K Dick award. It won the 1997 Locus First Novel award and is included on a list of the defining science fiction of the 90s. Summarizing the plot would take more characters than I have remaining, so I'll just finish with a rating - somewhere between "ok" and "good".
