When the news came out that Sharon Lee is the 2025 winner of the Robert A. Heinlein Award given by BSFS with support from The Heinlein Society, it marked the latest in a string of noteworthy authors that I hadn’t read. Since the writing duo of Sharon and her late husband Steve are best known for their “Liaden Universe” I figured I would start with book #1.
It’s a good read, fast-paced and a decent adventure story with some interesting world-building in it. I was actually reminded of Charles E. Gannon’s writing in the Caineverse, although this came first.
I don’t think right now I’m going to be rushing to read all of the books, but I think I am interested enough to find the two more that involve the main characters of this book. Time will tell!
