About this item
A series milestone as we welcome the twentieth amazing entry in the nationally best-selling Liaden Universe series.The luck runs rough around Theo Waitley. Not only are people trying to kill her and capture the self-aware intelligent ship Bechimo to whom Theo is bonded, they're also trying to arrest her crew members, and throw the dignity of an important passenger, the duly-constituted norbear ambassador Hevelin, into question. No wonder Theo and her crew felt the need of a break, and retired to what Bechimo refers to as "safe space." Unfortunately, safe space may not be so safe, anymore. It seems that things are leaking through from another universe, and another time. In fact, whole spaceships are coming through. One of those ships is a blasted battleship seemingly fleeing a long-lost war.
About the Author
Maine-based writers Sharon Lee and Steve Miller teamed up in the late '80s to bring the world the story of Kinzel, a inept wizard with a love of cats, a thirst for justice, and a staff of true power. Since then, the husband-and-wife have written dozens of short stories, and twenty-two novels, most set in their star-spanning Liaden Universe®.
The eighteenth novel of Liaden Universe® adventures, Dragon in Exile, was published in June 2015. The third collection of Liaden Universe® shorter works, Liaden Universe® Constellation, Volume III, in August 2015.
Carousel Seas, the concluding book in Sharon's Carousel trilogy (starting with Carousel Tides, and continuing in Carousel Sun) was published by Baen in January 2015.
Next up in the Liaden Universe® is Alliance of Equals, scheduled for hardcover publication on July 5, 2016.
All Lee-and-Miller, and Lee, novels (with the exception of work-for-hire Sword of Orion) are available as paper books, ebooks, and audiobooks.
Before settling down to the serene and stable life of a science fiction and fantasy writer, Steve was a traveling poet, a rock-band reviewer, reporter, and editor of a string of community newspapers. Sharon, less adventurous, has been an advertising copywriter, copy editor on night-side news at a small city newspaper, reporter, photographer, and book reviewer. Both credit their newspaper experiences with teaching them the finer points of collaboration.
Sharon and Steve passionately believe that reading fiction ought to be fun, and that stories are entertainment.
