For the golden-eyed Elspind, membership in the Cooperative League of Systems could bring many benefits... including a drug that would greatly increase their brief life spans.
Mark Kenner, on the brink of abandoning his StarBridge career, is forced into one last assignment -- to speak on Elseemar for the CLS.
But some of the Elspind are opposed to any such alliance. -Violently- opposed. They call themselves Wospind. And they are waiting for Mark and his companions...

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 starsAnother good starbridge book, October 7, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Starbridge 3: shadow World (Starbridge, Book 3) (Paperback)
This book really pushed the edge of the starbridge series with a more adult story.
There is a constant them of 'el' and 'wo' (life and death) that will bring ying and yang to mind. You are shown that living a short life is preferable to just existing in a long one.
I would say it was a mix of janet kagan's 'UHURA'S SONG' with some Buddhism thrown in.
