She has no money or resources, and there are no transports heading to Perun, her former home and the last imperial stronghold.

Enjoyable first books in several series. Fun scifi stories. Would have given 5 stars but a couple of these books really need the loving touch of a good editor & some Spell/Grammar checking.

Some repeats from other sets and a mediocre space opera, "The Key" that took more suspension of belief than I could muster.

Excellent read. The scenerios keep you going from one plot to the next without letting you down. All the characters fully develop themselves and don't leave you hanging. Recomed reading for all.

About the author

A native of Southern California, Christine Pope has been writing stories ever since she commandeered her family’s Smith-Corona typewriter back in the sixth grade. Christine writes in several sub-genres of romance, including paranormal romance, fantasy romance, and science fiction/space opera romance. The Land of Enchantment cast its spell on her while she was researching her Djinn Wars series, and she now makes her home in Santa Fe, New Mexico.


C. Gockel got her start writing fanfiction, and she is not ashamed! Much. She received emails, messages and reviews from her fans telling her she should 'do this professionally'. She didn't; because she is a coward and life as a digital designer, copywriter and coder is more dependable. But in the end, her husband's nagging wore her down: "You could be the next '50 Shades of Gray' and I could retire!" Unfortunately, the author writes science fiction and fantasy, not erotica. She is sad about this; she'd love for her husband to be able to retire and just work for her so she could nag him.


Carol Van Natta is a USA TODAY bestselling science fiction and fantasy author. Works include the Central Galactic Concordance space opera series, paranormal romance, and retro science fiction comedy. She shares her Fort Collins, CO home with a sometime mad scientist and various cats. Find her on the web at Author.CarolVanNatta.com or facebook.com/CarolVanNattaAuthor.

Lindsay is a full-time independent fantasy, science-fiction, and sci-fi romance author who loves travel, hiking, tennis, and vizslas. She grew up in the Seattle area but moved to Arizona when she realized she was solar-powered.


Greta van der Rol is a writer, photographer, animal lover, and self-described space nut. She loves writing space opera with a dollop of romance - but she's written two paranormal novels featuring weretigers, and one historical fiction. She lives with her husband not far from the beach in Queensland, Australia.


Alexis Glynn Latner has written the science fiction novel "Hurricane Moon" (Pyr 2007, Avendis Press 2014) and more than two dozen stories in science fiction, fantasy, horror and mystery magazines and anthologies. She has a sailplane pilot's license, so she understands the calculus of risk and reward when people undertake adventure. She works at Rice University's Fondren Library in Houston, Texas, and teaches creative writing through the Glasscock School of Continuing Studies at Rice. Her Website is http://www.alexisglynnlatner.com.


Pauline doesn't love reality so she writes books. She tends to wander among the genres, rampaging like Godzilla (they were born the same year) through her characters lives, mixing peril and humor into her romance. However, whether she's writing science fiction, fantasy, paranormal, or cozy mystery she always delivers a happy ending.
