Elizabeth Bear is an acclaimed American author known for the Jenny Casey trilogy. She won the 2005 John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer and has received Hugo Awards for both Short Story and Novelette. Bear is one of only five authors to achieve this trio of prestigious awards.

In Elizabeth Bear's "Dust," the first book of the Jacob's Ladder series, a malfunctioning spaceship orbits a dying sun, housing restless inhabitants. The plot ignites when a young serving girl liberates an elderly noblewoman, triggering unforeseen changes. Together, they must prevent a war and safeguard their houses. Their quest leads them to Jacob Dust, the final vestige of divinity. This gripping narrative explores themes of freedom, survival, and redemption amidst cosmic decay.
