Summary

In Lee and Miller<U+2019>s sprawling and satisfying 18th Liaden Universe novel (after Trade Secret ), the spacefaring Clan Korval settles into its new home on the crime-ridden planet of Surebleak after being exiled from Liad. The pilots, traders, and rogues of Korval approach a wide variety of problems with calm determination and cunning resourcefulness, imposing their rules and customs on the natives of Surebleak while countering the corrupt Liaden Department of the Interior and its brainwashed agents. Lee and Miller juggle numerous plot lines (which interweave with previous entries in complicated ways) and introduce a new problem for every one that<U+2019>s solved. Space opera mixes with social engineering, influenced by Regency-era manners and delicate notions of honor. For established fans, it<U+2019>s like spending time with old friends; however, many ongoing story lines are still unresolved by the end of the book. Newcomers are advised to choose an earlier entry point to the series. Agent: Jennifer Jackson, Donald Maass Literary Agency.
