Book Description

Starbridge Series March 1, 1998

Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

The seventh in the Starbridge series, which Crispin began and has continued with various colleagues' help, retains the underlying theme of building bridges between the several intelligent races in the Cooperative League of Systems, despite wide gaps among them in terms of development and ethics. Questions of the latter sort come brutally to the fore when the felinoid Arrekhi request admission to the league, meanwhile concealing some of their more vicious habits and ambitions. The effort to discourage the more bloodthirsty Arrekhi while not alienating the rest yields a story that is as much one of diplomacy and detective work as it is of action. Crispin and Emerson keep the writing in this series as intelligent as ever and make the Arrekhi an honorable addition to the roster of felinoid alien races. Certain to hold established fans of the series and maybe gather a few more. Roland Green

ABOUT ME:

Hi, Amazon.com readers! I'm Ann Crispin, aka A.C. Crispin.

Seasons Greetings! StarBridge is now available on Kindle!

My holiday "present" to everyone is that the StarBridge Series is finally going to be available as electronic editions! Over the past five or six years, I've gotten dozens of requests from my readers who have wanted to complete their collection of StarBridge books by reading them on their e-readers.

Now, thanks to Ridan Publishing, StarBridge, Book One is available in all major e-book formats on the Ridan website and right here on Amazon.com for the Kindle. The first three StarBridge Books, StarBridge, Silent Dances, and Shadow World, will be out before the Christmas holiday, and the remaining four, Serpent's Gift, Silent Songs, Ancestor's World, and Voices of Chaos will be following early in the New Year.

I can't tell you how thrilled I am about this. StarBridge has always been near and dear to my heart.

If the e-editions do well, there may be MORE StarBridge adventures to come...I'm talking brand-new, original stories. So please...check them out!


Also, still available if my Pirates of the Caribbean prequel book, The Price of Freedom. Not to make to big a deal of it, but the hardcover would make a heck of a good present for any fan of PotC. Remember, books keep on giving long after the holidays are over.

The Price of Freedom is the first full-length novel written in the Pirates of the Caribbean universe aimed at adult readers. It's a prequel to the POTC films, and tells how Jack Sparrow first became Captain Jack Sparrow. It tells how he first encountered Cutler Beckett and Hector Barbossa, and why he left Shipwreck Cove. Jack also meets some unusual ladies in the book. And, since it's a Pirates of the Caribbean story, there's also treasure and magic!

The Price of Freedom is available in both hardcover and Kindle versions. If you're familiar with my other books, I've done for Jack Sparrow what I did for Han Solo and Sarek --this novel is his backstory.

Check out that cover art. Neat, huh? You can get a closer look on my website. You can also read five excerpts from the book there. Here's the link:

3.0 out of 5 stars Fairly Decent, August 25, 2001
By 
Dancing Jackaroo (Tacoma, WA USA and Bucharest, Romania) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Starbridge 7: Voices of Chaos (Starbridge Series) (Paperback)
If I could I would actually give this book 3 1/2 stars, but it doesn't quite rate four. I love cats and love Starbridge novels, so in many ways this should be right up my alley. I did in fact think it was a decent read, and after a few false starts (the Starbridge novel before this one really disappointed me, so I was slow getting into this one) it managed to hold my attention well. I appreciated the various issues brought up because of the romantic interest between the two lead characters. I have no idea what would happen in real life if two alien species became attracted to each other, but in some ways at least this seemed to do a decent job of considering that. Some of the story did seem a bit too... predictable, maybe? However, the end still held some surprises, which I appreciated. This isn't the best book I've ever read, but (particularly for Starbridge fans) it's not bad.

4.0 out of 5 stars Alien Scarlet Pimpernel fights prejudice and finds romance!, August 10, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Starbridge 7: Voices of Chaos (Starbridge Series) (Paperback)
The latest addition to the StarBridge universe is a tale of a young human translator sifting through complex undercurrents in an alien culture where lying is a political art form. Caught in a cultural crossfire of numerous factions fiercely protecting their own interests, Magdalena Perez has only her friendship with Khyriz, a member of the royal Arrekhi family, and her sixth sense about people lying to her, to help her ride out a civil war. For the Arrekhis have an old secret--the oppression and degradation of the Asha, a race visually different, yet as sentient as their own. Well-written, forbidden romances point up differences and similarities between sentients as Magdalena and Khyriz fight for the lives and freedom of a literally silenced race. Good alien culture, and the StarBridge frame supports rather than interferes with the space adventure. One of the best StarBridges yet.

5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting Idea!, March 3, 1998
This review is from: Starbridge 7: Voices of Chaos (Starbridge Series) (Paperback)
This book brought many great ideas to light... not all the problems that we face today, have been stopped in the future... there are still cults, and there are still problems medicine can not erase. The characters were very well done, and the descriptions allowed me to visualize the scenes. I think Magdalena Perez was a very believeable character, and that having her overcome such problems, brought more dimension to her character.
