ALL NEW NARRATION
Dragons in space?
A preposterous legend, dragons dueling with riggers. Nothing can live in the interdimensional Flux of interstellar space. But in the Flux, visions of the mind converge with reality, and visions can be perilous. When star pilot Jael defies an abusive ship’s master and rigs “the mountain route to Lexis,” dragons indeed appear in the night sky—and challenge her to duel to the death.
Just one dragon, Highwing, treats her with friendship. If she escapes, she would be wise never again to fly this route between the stars. But Jael has been caught up in an age-old struggle of good and evil, in unwitting fulfillment of an ancient prophecy of “One” from the outside who will shake the realm to its foundation.
Fate has its ways, and when the currents of space once more bring her back to the dragon realm, she finds Highwing under sentence of death for the kindness he showed her. Only “the One” can intervene—and so Jael must, for the sake of one who risked his life to save hers.
A genre-bending novel of the Star Rigger Universe, from the Nebula-nominated author of Eternity’s End, and recipient of the Frank Herbert Lifetime Achievement Award for writing science fiction.
