At the heart of a mystery unfolding in space, the opposing forces make a treacherous journey between Earth and Mars.
In space, mutiny means death--that's why Inspector General Park Yerim is taking her investigation so seriously. The alleged mutineer is Captain Nicolau Aames, whose command of the massive Earth-Mars vessel Aldrin has come under fire. The vast System Initiative says he disobeyed orders, but his crew swears he's in the right.
En route to Mars, Park gathers testimony from the Aldrin's diverse crew, painting a complex picture of Aames's character: his heroism, his failures, even his personal passions. As the investigation unfolds, Park finds herself in the thrall of powerful interests, each pushing and pulling her in a fiery cosmic dance.
Corruption, conflicting loyalties, and clashing accounts make it nearly impossible to see the truth in fifty million miles of darkness, and Park faces danger from every direction. All eyes are on her: one way or another, her findings will have astronomical implications for the Aldrin and the future of space travel.

Recommended for any reader, genre or otherwise, looking for a pleasant and engaging read."--Booklist "Martin Shoemaker proves conclusively that while a science fiction novel must have the trappings of science fiction, it is at its strongest when it is about people, even an artificial (but emotional) person named Carey."--Mike Resnick "A dazzling ride through the near future. I enjoyed it thoroughly. I've never seen anything remotely like it."--Jack McDevitt "Martin Shoemaker is a rare writer who can handle the challenges of dealing with future technology while touching the human heart. This is a must-read!"--David Farland, New York Times Best-selling Author "Carey is one of the most delightful robots to come along in a while, and Today I Am Carey is a fine addition to science fiction's century-long conversation about our mechanical servants."--Analog "Today I Am Carey is a rare thought-provoking novel"--The Daily News of Galveston County "....this book is like an onion. As time passes, the world expands from the center, the core of the onion, moving from layer to layer, new stratum larger than the last. Each richly detailed...Recommended for fans of Asimov, classic science fiction, and anyone who just enjoys a well-told tale."--Future Science Fiction Digest (Recommended fot book fo the Month) Praise for the work of Martin L. Shoemaker: "Martin Shoemaker's 'Black Orbit' is a more conventional Analog adventure, and a very good example of such . . . a really solid story." -- Rich Horton, Locus Online "['Bookmark'] is an exceptional example of how to discuss deep moral and philosophical issues while maintaining a tight narrative that brings the reader along. This story will be added to the required readings for my SF classes."--Robert L. Turner III, Tangent Online
