Editorial Review: Product Description: Freelance thief Gem ser'Edreth makes the calculated mistake of turning down a commission from the local crime boss. Gem's hidden past proves an unexpected liability as his plans to leave the planet go catastrophically awry. Suddenly embroiled in interplanetary politics, and a potential interstellar war, in possession of a Trident, a mysterious, ancient object of power and an unwanted cousin, Gem discovers that the Trident may hold the key to his salvation-or his undoing. Average Rating:
 Rating: - The good beginning of a series - as yet unfinishedGem ser'Edreth is the son of the captain of a spaceship whose crew have lived on the ship for generations and a grounder, that is someone born and living on a planet. After his mother's death his xenophobic uncle mistreats him and finally sells the 9-year-old boy because of his grounder genes. What should lead to degradation and death turns out relatively lucky since Gem is sold to a thief who wants to pass the secrets of his trade on to an apprentice / son. 20 years later, Gem has become ...

But don't let that stop you from mining the riches you'll find in this book.

Gem ser'Edreth is an electronics ace by nature and an independent thief by trade. He has very few ties to anyone and prefers to exist on the fringes of civilization, under the radar ... Read More Rating: - loved it & glad there is to be moreI just now finished Tomorrow Log. It was good to once again read intelligent, plausible and human SF (of which there is all too little). I am also very glad to have just found out that there is an upcoming sequel to this one, which I hope will be available soon, because a lot could happen next, and I want to know what that is ASAP! Rating:  - so-soTHe book was a little too long even though its short. I read it, but did not really enjoy it. I am hoping when I re-read it in a couple of months I will find it more interesting. Rating: - Not Liaden, but satisfying nonethelessI recommend the authors' Liaden series; most characters are well developed and interesting. I bought Tomorrow Log assuming it was a new Liaden installment, and was disappointed to find this was not set in that universe. Nevertheless, the first few pages grabbed me, and I stayed up way too late because I couldn't put the book down. Thanks, Lee & Miller! Browse for similar items by category:
