I'm very excited about this! All of Sherwood Smith's character and world-building skills applied to SF? And David Trowbridge is not only an old hand at SF, he's also the spouse of writer Deborah J. Ross, author of the excellent Northlight and Jaydium. This promises to be great stuff, and at an unbeatable price!

So -- until my Nuala sales are high enough to let me write the next book, here's some good SF for your Reader. I'll be getting a copy for my Calibre, and will report back as soon as I finish the other six reviews I have to write!

Here's the basis of the story:

Brandon nyr-Arkad, the Emperor's scapegrace youngest son, defies protocol and evades a ceremonial duty, a defiance punishable by death. He's just ahead of an attack on the Panarchy of the Thousand Suns by Eusabian, a revenge twenty years in the making.

Phoenix in Flight begins the five volume arc of Exordium, as Brandon discovers what happened to his home after he left, and he has to make a decision: stay an outlaw, or return and deal with the smoking ruins of his rejected world?

Sherwood Smith and Dave Trowbridge are longtime science fiction readers as well as writers.

Now they're cross-examining the librarians....

They can't fire the librarians unless they can prove they could not transition to the classroom. So much for California's edge in the future employment market.

Balance in the Universe....

Well.

( Car repairs, tax refunds and unexpected income achieve balance. )

This does suggest some sort of balance in the universe. But I'll be shipping the stuff for the art show. New plans...

Mental Health Break, People...

You'll be transfixed.

Wait for it.
