Publication Date: 05/04/2021
Format: Paperback
Friday is a secret courier and ardent lover. Employed by a man she only knows of as āBossā, she is given the most awkward and dangerous cases, which take her from New Zealand to Canada, and through the new States of Americaās disunion, all the way out into the stars and the new colony of Botany Bay.
Thrust into one calamity after another, she uses her enhanced wits and very many skills to evade, seduce or even kill her way out of any sticky situation she finds herself in. For she is both superior and inferior to the average human.
As an APāartificial personāthe best humanity has to offer has been written into Fridayās DNA. Yet she is often treated like a second-class citizenāif she were ever able to claim citizenship. Her mother was the test tube and her father the knife, as the saying goes, so she has less rights than the biologically-born human, and no soul, according to the church.
But in Friday Heinlein has created one of the most enlightened, warm, engaging, and humane characters in the science fiction field, gifting us a novel of female empowerment that was well ahead of its time.
