Produktbeschreibungen
From Booklist
In an unusually masterful first novel, physicist Asaro combines hard speculative science and first-rate storytelling to look at the galaxy's distant future. Earth's peaceful Alliance shares power with two other empires, those of the Skolians and the Traders, who are mortal enemies of each other. Heir apparent to oversee the Skolian empire, Sauscony Valdoria is a bioengineered fighter pilot who has inherited rare psychic abilities that link her to the powerful "psiberspace" Skolian Web. Taking shore leave on a neutral planet, Sauscony encounters Jaibriol, an heir to the throne of the sadistic Trader Empire. During a fortuitous melding of minds, Sauscony not only recognizes Jaibriol as her psychic soul mate but realizes her new love has been bred specifically to give Traders the power to vanquish the Skolian empire. Asaro innovatively blends computer technology and telepathy into the electrifying, action-rich drama she creates. This is one of the best sf first novels in years, a likely candidate for the genre's major awards. Carl Hays

From Library Journal
In a distant future where three empires battle for control of the galaxy, Sauscony Valdoria, the heir apparent of the Skolian Empire, finds herself inexplicably attracted to Jaibriol Qox, the son of the Emperor of Tarnth and the symbol of everything Sauscony has been taught to despise. Asaro's sf debut features strong male and female protagonists and a well-realized far-future world. Blending hard science with a familiar tale of star-crossed lovers, this novel deserves a wide readership.

I couldn't disagree more with the reader below, who seems to have a problem with empowered women.
I just finished the 4 books that Ms Asaro wrote in the Skolian empire, of which Primary Inversion is the first. As a biologist, I found the science to be provocative and accurate. As a woman, I found the characters and relationships to be honest and appealing. I would recommend these to anyone who likes books by Bujold, Willis, Kress, etc. It's character-driven SF with a serious dose of science.

Primary Inversion first appeared in hard cover in 1994 and was one of the strongest first SF novels ever, a romantic adventure with a healthy dose of super science. Not an unexpected gem, if one considers the author: Catherine Asaro holds a Ph.D. from Harvard in Mathematical Chemistry, Masters in Physics, edited her own SF/Science magazine, Mindsparks and had a previous Ruby Dynasty story in Analog, April 1994. Primary Inversion introduces us to our universe in the 2200's, but from the point of view of the genetically advanced humans that we discover seeded through the galaxy when we Earthlings finally make the leap to space. The Allied Worlds (Earth) holds one corner of the power triangle, but the struggle Sauscony (Soz) Skolia lives is between the Skolian Imperialate and the Eubian Traders (evil incarnate). She is the ideal of a perfect soldier. Jaggernaut physical training, a bio-web of weapons embedded in her body and a psi connection to the Skolian web that controls instantaneous communication in the universe make her nearly indestructible, but the fact that she's an empath and a telepath make her vulnerable in a way we rarely see in a killing machine. Throw in drop-dead-gorgeous and lonely as hell (no possibility of a Rhon mate, a man who can link minds with her, in the entire universe) and you see the formula for a novel filled with nova bursts of energy. Although this novel is meant to stand alone, it is actually the first half of a book. What is part two? The Radiant Seas (Tor 1999).

I've read a few science fiction books in the past but have never been overly thrilled. Maybe, if more of those books had been like Catherine Asaro's "Primary Inversion", I would be a huge science fiction reader today!
This is the story of the Skolian Empire and their war with the Traders but it's more than that as well. The story is told through the POV of Sauscony Valdoria, the heir to the Skolian Empire. Soz is struggling with life right now, her life as a soldier is taking it's toll, she's lonely and she has issues in her past she still hasn't dealt with. It all comes crashing down in this story as she meets the person who is her true soul mate.
Catherine Asaro is a wonderful writer who does an excellent job at drawing the reader into this world she has created...I literally could not put the book down.
If you like Sci fi or are just getting started, this is a great place to start...I cannot wait to read the rest of the books in the series.

A perfect blend of all the elements that makes a sci fi book
Primary Inversion reminds me of Lois McMaster Bujold's Mirror Dance. Asaro balances a complex political scene with brilliant action and heart breaking characters. Lesen Sie weiter...

Fantastic debut novel.
Primary Inversion contains more interesting and original ideas than I've run across in scifi in quite a while, and I've been reading it for 30 years. Lesen Sie weiter...

A fresh, strong voice in sf
I picked up and set down this book in a store several times because the title and the artwork were so uninviting, even though I'd heard good things about Asaro's writing and had... Lesen Sie weiter...

One of the Best I've read in a while!
This was a fabulous book! Asaro goes above and beyond wonderfully personable characters, great plotting, and excellent subplots. I haven't enjoyed a book this much in a long time. Lesen Sie weiter...

More fantasy than sci fi
Primary Inversion contains a few interesting and original ideas; but not enough to support a novel. I might enjoy Catherine's writing if she abandoned imitation and concentrated on... Lesen Sie weiter...

Strong characters AND science
