Marked in Flesh is the 4th novel in Bishop’s engaging, “Others” series. The world Bishop created is controlled by powerful others who permit humans to exist in some cities and parts of their world as long as humans continue to pay rent and provide useful services. Naturally humans resent the demands of the others and some agitate for revolt, not realizing that the others they see are just a buffer between humans and the truly powerful others. Radical humans plot to attack the others and grab land while the others determine how to respond had who should survive. The writing is strong with well-developed characters and it avoids becoming a typical “shapeshifter” romance.
