She was old when the world was young. Her image appears in painting from before the Renaissance – but also from the Earth of 3,000 years from now, and from a dozen or more far-flung worlds around the galaxy. Who is she, and what is her secret? It remains for an alien art critic named Leonardo by his human associates to find the answer, and to put himself, his friends, and even some of those worlds at risk in the process. This is the legendary novel by multiple Hugo winner Mike Resnick that became the only American winner of France’s coveted Prix Tour Eiffel and its 100,000-franc grand prize.

Mike Resnick is a very easy to read author, and can hold the reader's attention for the entire length of a book. This one is no exception. It combines a futuristic universe with a theme from mythology. Combines the future and the past. Our heroes search for a lady who appears throughout history, and consorts with heroes. Her nature, and her motives are a mystery. Finally, they track her down to a firm conclusion. My only qualm is that the ending is weak. A revelation as to the nature of the Dark Lady promised throughout the story is not delivered, leaving the reader wondering.Product details

The Dark Lady A Romance of the Far Future edition by Mike Resnick Romance eBooks Reviews
Another excellent work by Mike Resnick. Told from the viewpoint of an alien (something most authors have trouble doing), this book spans the galaxy in the quest for the Dark Lady. Is she Death? Is she a Goddess? The Bjornn art dealer Leonardo is driven to learn all he can about her, and what she means for his future, the future of his race, and the future of Mankind.
I would have loved to give this book 5 stars, but like another rater already said, the book left a lot to be desired at the end. The main character is an alien from Benatarius II, a self-effacing matriarchal society that is almost unbelievable in its deference to others. He calls himself Leonardo because his true name is unpronounceable. Leonardo was imminently likeable and you feel for him throughout the story as humans are quite discriminatory to aliens in this world the author has created. He finds himself in the employ of a loathsome man who is bent on collecting all the portraits he can of this mythical mysterious Dark Lady. In his pursuit for his employer he meets others that have an interest in her as well, and they end up interacting with her on a couple of different occasions. The book was well written, engaging, and the premise was a truly interesting one, but the ending left me wondering where the rest of the book was. A bit more back story on the Dark Lady or at least an explanation as to the resolution would have definitely elevated this book to fantastic. Worth a read.
I hadn't read this one in years and I'm glad its now available in a kindle edition. It's still one of my favorite science fiction reads
It sort of lead you on a trip around the "Book of Mankind" universe but never really went anywhere.
