Jenny's former commander, who was responsible for replacing her limbs, contacts her to bring her into a secret government corporate project in which she is uniquely qualified to participate. Reception ''Publishers Weekly'' said in their review that "Bear's often jagged prose ('We disembark in Brazil, which has the distinction of being one of several countries I've been shot at in. Shot down over, even...') suits the frequent, at times confusing narrative jumps between the virtual and real worlds" and that "readers may have difficulties following this som ...

Hammered Coinage
Hammered coinage was the most common form of coins produced from the invention of coins in the first millennium BC until the early modern period of c. the 15th–17th centuries, contrasting to the cast coinage and the later developed milled coinage. History Hammered coins were produced by placing a blank piece of metal (a '' planchet'' or ''flan'') of the correct weight between two dies, and then striking the upper die with a hammer to produce the required image on both sides. The planchet was usually cast from a mold. The bottom die (sometimes called the ''anvil die'') was usually counter sunk in a log or other sturdy surface and was called a ''pile''. One of the minters held the die for the other side (called the ''trussel''), in his hand while it was struck either by himself or an assistant. Experimental archeology suggests that a lower die could be expected to last for up to 10,000 strikes depending on the level of wear deemed acceptable. Upper dies seem to have a far gr ...

Hammer Paint
Hammer paint (or hammered paint) is a special lacquer with a surface that looks like hammered metal when dried. It is also known as hammertone. Composition The slightly iridescent areas are caused by the different orientation of very small shiny particles, which are suspended in the lacquer. These particles are often made of the mineral mica. Mica is resilient, reflective, refractive, dielectric, chemically inert, insulating, lightweight, and hydrophilic.Dolley, Thomas P. (2008"Mica"() in ''USGS 2008 Minerals Yearbook''. Alternatively, aluminium or bronze powder may be used. To make the "hammered" effect more pronounced, a small amount of silicone oil may be added directly before application. Purposes Hammer paint is often used to beautify technical apparatus or as a protective coating. The optical advantage of hammer paint is that surfaces look acceptable even if the underlying surface is not flat and smooth. To get a regular paint to look smooth, the surface would have to be p ...
