Editorial Review: Book Description: M. Jela Granthor's Guard is a soldier who was born to be a soldier, a soldier whose genes were selected before birth, whose life was chosen for him as one of service and dedication. Cantra yos'Phelium is an ace pilot and a thoroughgoing rogue. She trades the dark and the gray markets along the war-torn Rim, running solo, with an eye on her own profit. When fate casts them together, they form an unlikely-and uncomfortable-alliance, the soldier intent on his mission, the pirate intent on her survival... Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Liaden universeWonderful story, as one would expect from Sharon Lee. I enjoy her Liaden Universerse books emmensely and this is one of the best. Rating:  - You might want to have the 2nd volume at hand before reading the 1st volume!Somehow, I only discovered these authors' "Liaden" series of very well written space opera with _Balance of Trade_.

This book and its conclusion, Crystal Dragon, are well worth the price! Rating: - Science fictionThis story was good and the characters well developed. It kept my interest and provoked interesting thought. Rating:  - I was waiting for this book, but-I was wanting to see how the Liaden universe had began, but I really didn't get many answers from this book.The plotting is not up to the authors usual pace, and the characters are wooden. I really wanted to like this book, but I couldn't. I will skip the sequel, and wait for the authors to come back to their liaden roots. Browse for similar items by category:
