NEW ENTRY IN THE LANDMARK LIADEN UNIVERSE(R) SERIES
The only bridge between past and future is a leap of faith.
Pursued by enemies, exiled Liaden clan Korval is settling into a new
base on backworld Surebleak. Moving is expensive, as is war, and Korval
is strapped for cash. Delm Korval has therefore instructed Master Trader
Shan yos'Galan to design and implement new trade routes, quickly.
But this is no easy task. Dutiful Passage is targeted by Korval's
enemies, denied docking at respectable ports, and cheated at those less
respectable. Struggling to recuperate from an attack on his life, while
managing daughter Padi's emerging psychic talents, Shan is running out
of options--and time. His quest to establish the all-important trade
route puts him at odds with his lifemate, while doubting crew desert the
ship. Facing the prospect of failure, Shan accepts the assistance of
chancy allies and turns the Passage toward a port only just emerging
from Rostov's Dust and awash with strange energies.
Without trade, Clan Korval will starve. Will a trader's leap of faith
save everything--or doom all?
