- Stirring SF adventure from master storytellers Sharon Lee and Steve Miller -
#16 in the award-winning Liaden Universe saga. Space ships, action,
adventure - all tied together with a strong dollop of romance and clan intrigue
- make this a compelling series for a wide range of readers, from romance to
military SF lovers.- The kompani sees none as an enemy, and yet few as friend. The kompani exists
in many places, living quietly in the shadows, thriving off the bounty that
others have no wit to secure, nor skill to defend. Their private history is
unwritten; their recall rooted in dance and dream. The humans of Clan Korval are
in many ways the opposite of the kompani. The interstellar trading clan is
wealthy in enemies, fortunate in friends. Korval protects itself with vigor, and
teaches even its youngest children the art of war. And when representatives of
Clan Korval arrive on the planet Surebleak where the kompani has lived secret
and aloof, it seems to the kompani that they are borne by the very winds of
change. Change can be a boon, for in change lies opportunity. But the arrival of
Clan Korval, establishing itself upon Surebleak with its friends, its enemies,
and, most of all, its plans may bring catastrophe, changing the culture and the
kompani, forever!
