Hansen juggles multiple universes as if they were fireballs, without ever dropping a single one. Like the best of science fiction, \u003ci\u003eAzura Ghost \u003c\/i\u003easks the questions that we often fear to ask ourselves: about the extent of our responsibility in this world, what it means to choose, the limits of empathy, and the inevitability of loss; and like the best of science fiction, it asks them both at the scale of the cosmos, and at the level of a single human heart. The novel's ambition is upheld by soaring prose, which does full justice to the scope of Hansen's imagination.
