Latest entry in a hot space opera series with a huge and active base
of fans. Maverick pilot Theo Waitley takes to space in a new AI-driven
ship to save her lover (a powerful trading clan leader) from a creeping
nano-virus that's eating him alive.
Stirring space adventure from master storytellers Sharon Lee and Steve
Miller - #5 in the award-winning Liaden Universe(R) saga. Space ships,
action, adventure - all tied together with a strong dollop of romance
and intrigue - make this a compelling series for a wide range of
readers, from romance to military SF lovers.
First Class courier pilot Theo Waitley was already known as a nexus of
violence - and then she inherited the precarious captaincy of a
mysterious self-aware ship designed to serve a long dead trader. Now she
has a trade route to run for Clan Korval while she convinces the near
mythic ghost ship Bechimo - and herself - that she wants to commit
herself as the human side to their immensely powerful symbiosis. While
her former lover battles a nano-virus that's eating him alive, she's
challenged to rescue hundreds of stranded pilots and crewmen from an
explosive situation in near orbit around a suddenly hostile planet.
Lovers, enemies, an ex-roomie, and a jealous spaceship are all in peril
as Theo wields power that no one in the universe is sure of, especially
her.
