It would be giving the tale away to identify which main character is giving the account. Yet it does leave room for further questions about the children of Sauscony and Jabriol. . . Perhaps another book has/will follow this vein. Fine. I am always happy with these books, about a family with psionic powers that is able to control computer networks from within, romance, adventure, highly visual text, and some mathematical speculation. The best book in the series is still, in my opinion, the Nebula-winning Quantum Rose, which plunges you into a visually stunning world that you only visit casually in the rest of the series.

| Book description |
|
A woman comes to consciousness on a world she doesn't recognize, and fades out again--literally. As nonexistence and awareness alternate, the woman regains her memory, realizing she is Dyhianna Selei, the Ruby Pharaoh, titular head of the Skolian Empire, who was destroyed in a star-spanning battle that ravaged both her empire and that of its enemy, the Aristos. Instead of dying, Dyhianna was transported to a distant world via the quantum-mechanical universe of Hilbert space--and now she is in danger of disappearing permanently into that nonphysical universe. And that isn't her only problem. Her husband has been physically and psychologically scarred by his captivity in Aristo hands. She may have to overthrow the elected government of her own Empire in order to resurrect it from the ashes of the Radiance War and defend it from the powerful Aristos.
Spherical Harmonics follows (and sometimes overlaps) the events in The Radiant Seas, 031286714XThe Quantum Rose, and Ascendant Sun. Other books in the series include Primary Inversion, Catch the Lightning, and The Last Hawk. --Cynthia Ward

Many of the other stories in this series can be read without any real knowledge of the rest of the series but this one is really best understood in it's place in the series. It's an interesting novel and I look forward to more in the series. (
