Dragon Ship

Latest entry in a best-selling space opera series with a huge and active base of fans. Book 5 in the award-winning Liaden UniverseÂĀ saga.  Stirring space adventure from master storytellers Sharon Lee and Steve Miller. Space ships, action, adventure âÈ' all tied together with a strong dollop of romance and intrigue âÈ' make this a compelling series for a wide range of readers, from romance to military SF lovers. First Class courier pilot Theo Waitley was already known as a nexus of violence âÈ' and then she inherited the precarious captaincy of a mysterious self-aware ship designed to serve a long dead trader. Now she has a trade route to run for Clan Korval while she convinces the near mythic ghost ship Bechimo âÈ' and herself âÈ' that she wants to commit herself as the human side to their immensely powerful symbiosis. While her former lover battles a nano-virus that's eating him alive, she's challenged to rescue hundreds of stranded pilots and crewmen from an explosive situation in near orbit around a suddenly hostile planet. Lovers, enemies, an ex-roomie, and a jealous spaceship are all in peril as Theo wields power that no one in the universe is sure of, especially her.   About the Liaden UniverseÂĀ series: âÈêEvery now and then you come across an author, or in this case, a pair, who write exactly what you want to read, the characters and personalities that make you enjoy meeting them. . . .
