Is this a dream... or a nightmare?The crew of the interstellar colony vessel Arachne is roused from artificial hibernation to face a horrific reality, as an alien boarding party takes them into custody to answer for the deaths of tens of thousands of sentient beings.But there is more to their trial than meets the eye, and the threads of intrigue weave a tight web as crewmates and friends are divided between those who feel they owe restitution for the actions of the ship's AI in their defense, and those who refuse to bow down to a judgment they see as persecution.What future can they hope to build among aliens who see them as mass murderers... presuming they have a future at all?

"Arachne's Crime" is a meditation on empathy, remorse, regret, guilt and legal liability. The ship's AI fires on a seemingly inert obstacle in the flightpath, blowing apart what turns out to be a large habitat that uses technologies that the AI did not recognize, resulting in a massive loss of life of an interstellar race. The aliens are enraged and demand justice. The human crew's views swivel around. While everyone is horrified, what else should they feel? They were all in hibernation and had no input into the AI's decision. They had not programmed the AI. There was no malicious intention. The AI screwed up, horribly, but it's an AI.
The aliens act too much like humans. The humans think of sex at the most inappropriate times. The strength of emotions among the humans is odd, given a common Anglo-Saxon law tradition that seems to prevail among them. Remorse? Regret? Guilt? Really?
I received a review copy of "Arachne's Crime" by Christopher L. Bennett from eSpec Books through NetGalley.com. (
