THE CREATIVE FIRE (BOOK ONE OF RUBY’S SONG)
Book ID/图书代码： 13005513B62659
English Summary/英文概要： Character-driven, social science fiction inspired by the life of Evita Peron
Nothing can match the power of a single voice... .
Ruby Martin expects to spend her days repairing robots while avoiding the dangerous peacekeeping forces that roam the corridors of the generation ship the Creative Fire. The social structure of the ship is rigidly divided, with Ruby and her friends on the bottom. Then a ship-wide accident gives Ruby a chance to fight for the freedom she craves. Her enemies are numerous, well armed, and knowledgeable. Her weapons are a fabulous voice, a quick mind, and a deep stubbornness. Complicating it all—an unreliable AI and an enigmatic man she met—and kissed—exactly once—who may hold the key to her success. If Ruby can’t transform from a rebellious teen to the leader of a revolution, she and all her friends will lose all say in their future.
Like the historical Evita Peron, Ruby rises from the dregs of society to hold incredible popularity and power. Her story is about love and lust and need and a thirst for knowledge and influence so deep that it burns.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 受到埃维塔•贝隆的生活的启发，这本书是以人物为主题的社会科幻小说。
没有什么可以比得上一个声音的力量…。
如比马丁（Ruby Martin）希望以修理机器人度日,同时避免徘徊在欲望之火，世代船的走廊上，危险的维和部队。船的社会结构被严格划分,如比和她的朋友在底层。然后一个殃及整艘船的事故给如比一个机会，为她所渴求的自由而战斗。她的敌人众多,他们都是装备精良,见多识广的人们。她的武器是一个极好的声音,灵敏的头脑,和顽强的固执。让这本小说变得扑朔迷离的是——一个不可靠的人工智能以及她遇见了一位神秘的男子——她与他接吻了——确切地说只有一次——他可能是她成功的关键。如果如比不能从一个叛逆的少年变成一位革命的领袖,她和她所有的朋友都将在未来失去发言权。
就像历史上的埃维塔•贝隆,如比从社会的渣滓里声名鹊起，拥有不可思议的声望和权力。她的故事是关于爱、欲望、需要以及对知识的渴望，她的故事影响之深正如它熊熊燃烧的火焰那样强烈。（Susie）
