The Latest Novel in the Exciting Liaden Universe(R) Space Adventure
Series. The Sequel to Saltation.
Aelliana Caylon has endured much, and finally, she appears to have won
all: a spaceship, comrades, friends -- and the love of a pilot she
adores.
Even better that her lover--the man who was destined for her, a man as
much a loner as she--is also the Delm of Korval, arguably the most
powerful person on all of Liad. He has the power to remove her and
protect her from the toxic environment of her home Clan. Best of all, he
agrees to sit as her co-pilot and her partner in a courier business.
Even happy endings sometimes show a few flaws. Such as Aelliana's home
clan being not as agreeable to letting her go as it had first seemed.
And the fact that someone is stealing pilots in the Low Port, which
falls within the Delm of Korval's honor. Oh, and the revelation that the
man she loves--the man who is destined for her--isn't entirely the man
she thought he was. And finally, she discovers that even the lift from
Liad she'd so fervently desired, is part of a larger plan, a plan
requiring her to be someone she never thought she was, or could be.
Praise for the Liaden Universe series:
"Every now and then you come across an author, or in this case, a pair,
who write exactly what you want to read, the characters and
personalities that make you enjoy meeting them. . . . I rarely rave on
and on about stories, but I am devoted to Lee and Miller novels and
stories." --Anne McCaffrey
"These authors consistently deliver stories with a rich, textured
setting, intricate plotting, and vivid, interesting characters from
fully-realized cultures, both human and alien, and each book gets
better." ?Elizabeth Moon
