Book Description

Publication Date: November 1, 2001

Fleet Admiral Catherine Romanova has come home to Narsai to retire. She and her second husband, her long-time comrade Lincoln Casey, have left Earth in disgust following one more sign of the growing distrust between the Outworlds of which Narsai is part and the Inner Worlds that have Terra at their political center. The last straw for them was the expulsion from the Star Service of all "scramblers" officers promoted from the ranks of ordinary crew members, with whom Casey feels kinship because of his despised Morthan heritage. The couples idyll (and unexpected boredom) is interrupted when their foster son, Dan Archer, arrives with a fugitive companionand with a ruthless Corporate Marshal not far behind.

More About the Author

Hello, I'm '9-UH' - daughter of a Maine fisherman and (wouldn't you know it?) a reading teacher. I usually write speculative and mainstream fiction, although I've also authored a couple of nonfiction titles. I'm especially interested in speculative fiction with strong, mature female protagonists, so much of my work centers on them. My latest Amazon release is HIGH PLACES, the first book of a trilogy. It's available as both a trade paperback and a Kindle eBook.
