The object in question looks like:
...
A sample can be found on:
the Meisha Merlin Hellspark page which was still up this morning.
What is is: A complex tale of first, second, and third contact with AI, alien, and human cultural elements. The protagonist wears glasses. Or maybe this is a deep and fragile love story. Or... well.... read it.
So, As time permits I'll set up a page for ordering from SRM Publisher; I think I have about 50 copies or so. Our plan is to set-aside a 10 percent royalty for the author since I'm not sure if these books come to us under the same conditions ours did from my recent trip, though it seems likely.
Let me note that, as with most Meisha Merlin book covers, the cover is somewhat darker in person than it is on the computer screen. Shame, really, that disconnect between art and reality.

First, second, and third contact - well, plenty of contacts, some AI, aliens, human culture (although perhaps the humans are the most alien). And a mystery, don't forget the mystery. And bringing up a uniquity. And . . . you're right, just read it, you won't be disappointed. Although you will be looking for Mirabile. And searching for more from Janet Kagan.
Isn't it odd how some of the best books are incredibly difficult to review in a short form?

And, I need another copy of Hellspark because I forgot to attach the LoJack when I last lent it out.

OK
let me get that page together. Should go up by about 7 PM Eastern, today, Thursday. Got a couple things ahead of it...
Due to
or a silly Seamonkey trick, one. At last try the order 1 and order 3 buttons were working but order 2 was not, for people using Explorer. Wanna try? I'm probably still working on it.
Here's our Hellspark page (http://www.korval.com/hellspark.htm), in beta if not in carotene.

One thing you didn't mention was the two afterwords in the MM edition. They alone are worth the price!
