The Gathering Edge

By Steve Miller and Sharon Lee

Book Overview

NATIONAL BESTSELLER. A series milestone as we welcome the twentieth amazing entry in the nationally best-selling Liaden Universe(R) series.

The luck runs rough around Theo Waitley. Not only are people trying to kill her and capture the self-aware intelligent ship Bechimo to whom Theo is bonded, they're also trying to arrest her crew members, and throw the dignity of an important passenger, the duly-constituted norbear ambassador Hevelin, into question.

No wonder Theo and her crew felt the need of a break, and retired to what Bechimo refers to as "safe space." Unfortunately, safe space may not be so safe, anymore. It seems that things are leaking through from another universe, and another time. In fact, whole spaceships are coming through. One of those ships is a blasted battleship seemingly fleeing a long-lost war. What's more, its crew may be members of Theo's ancient ancestral line--her relatives. It's certain that they are in dire need of help. Theo has a choice to make. It seems that Bechimo's "safe space" is about to become deadly perilous.

Customer Reviews

Start by reading Fledgling

Amazing yet confusing read order for this series. I happened upon Fledgling first and loved it. Recommend reading about Theo first, books Fledgling, Saltation, Ghost Ship, Dragon Ship, then her parents Scout's Promise, Mouse & Dragon, Agent of Change, Carpe Diem, Plan B, and I Dare. Then rest of beginning books till back to Dragon in Exile and straight forward from there. Helps to know Crystal Soldier and Crystal Dragon are ancestors, and Balance of Trade, Trade Secret and Fair Trade are about Jethri.
