Waiting on Wednesday is a meme hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine. She has a linky widget at her site each week for your post and to make it easy to find posts by other people.
The
purpose of the meme is to spotlight books that we are eagerly
anticipating. It is fun to take a look at what others are waiting for. I have noticed that it has expanded my wishlist though. Be warned!
I am really eager to read the latest Liaden Universe book by Sharon Lee and Steve Miller. I love these stories which stand up to many re-readings for me. I can't count the number of times I have read each of the books in this series. Here is the description of the one I want to read NOW:
I will be buying the eARC from Baen Books as soon as it is available to tide me over until I can get my lovely hardcover in July.Beset by the angry remnants of the Department of the Interior, challenged at every turn by opportunists on their new homeworld of Surebleak, and somewhat low on funds, Clan Korval desperately needs to reestablish its position as one of the top trading clans in known space. To this end, Master Trader Shan yos'Galan, aboard Korval's premier trade ship, Dutiful Passage, is on a mission to establish new business associations and to build a strong primary route that links well with existing Loops and secondary routes.
But reestablishing trade and preserving the lives of the few remaining members of the clan aren't all of Korval's problems. Matters come to a head as Dutiful Passage, accustomed to being welcomed and feted at those ports on its call-list, finds itself denied docking, and blacklisted, while agents of the DOI mount armed attacks on others of Korval's traders, under the very eyes of port security systems.
Traveling with Dutiful Passage on this unsettling journey is Padi yos'Galan, the master trader's heir and his apprentice. Padi is eager to make up for time lost due to Korval's unpleasantness with the Department of the Interior. She is also keeping a secret so intense that her coming of age, and perhaps her very life, is threatened by it.
It's been forever since I've read a Liaden Universe story - nice to see that it's still going.
ReplyDeleteI don't read a lot of sci-fi but I sure hope you love it! I am always amazed by sci-fi covers - so imaginative at times.
ReplyDeleteNot really a Sci-Fi fan, but I love that cover...and it does sound intensely exciting. Enjoy! Here's mine: “SMALL GREAT THINGS”
ReplyDeleteThat's totally new to me! Not much of a hardcore sci-fi fan myself, but hope you enjoy this one once you get to read it!
