Then came Cyteen, and later others, and a new and frighteningly different society grew in the farther reaches of space.

Conspirator
Author: C. J. Cherryh

ISBN: 1101549785
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
The tenth novel in Cherryh’s Foreigner space opera series, a groundbreaking tale of first contact and its consequences… The civil war among the alien atevi has ended. Tabini-aiji, powerful ruler of the Western Association, along with Cajeiri, his son and heir, and his human paidhi, Bren Cameron, have returned to Bujavid, their seat of power. But factions that remain loyal to the opposition are still present, and the danger these rebels pose is far from over. Since the rebellion, Bren Cameron's apartment in the capital has been occupied by an old noble family from the Southern district—the same district from which the coup was initiated. This family now claims loyalty to Tabini, but the aiji is dubious. To avoid conflict, Bren has decided to absent himself from the Bujavid and visit Najida, his country estate on the west coast. Tabini-aiji is training his young son in the traditional ways of the atevi, and has Cajeiri under strict supervision. But after two years in space, surrounded by human children, Cajeiri bristles in this boring environment. Desperate for freedom and adventure, disregarding the obvious danger, Cajeiri escapes the Bujavid with his young bodyguards and sets out to join Bren on the coast. Determined to insure his son's safety, Tabini recalls Ilisidi from her home in the East, asking her to find Cajeiri and secure him at Bren's estate. But it has been a long time since Bren has been to Najida, and the war has shifted allegiances in many quarters. A district that was once considered a safe haven may now be a trap. And with Bren, Cajeiri, and Ilisidi all under one roof and separated from their allies, that trap is now baited. The long-running Foreigner series can also be enjoyed by more casual genre readers in sub-trilogy installments. Conspirator is the 10th Foreigner novel, and the 1st book in the fourth subtrilogy.

Redifining Love's Finity A memoir of an Unwavering Mother

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 83
Book Description
Have you ever stopped and wondered about a man standing in front of a colossal mountain? Many people are out there having different obsessions and different amusements that beguile their minds and mesmerize their souls. But a man with his mind revolving around climbing over a mountain sounds a bit odd, right? He does not know what lies ahead of him; he does not know what is on the other side of a mountain, yet he still wants to do it. His energy and anticipation of getting to the other end are far more captivating than the strain, labor, and physical exertion required to get to that other end. To the mind of that fella, all these are secondary and subordinate. The only desire that matters to him is to overcome the height and stand on its peak. The hurdles and dolorous sensations to be encountered would be visible to all the other people around him except to that one man whose passion would surpass it all. But does he know what lies ahead? Should he be concerned about what is going to come in the next moment? Should the dangers coming his way stop him from doing what makes his heart alive and brings his poignant soul back to life? What is he to do? Should he take that one step that is going to change him forever, that one step after which he will not be the same person that he used to be? Or should he calm his racing heart down, take a deep breath, and set foot on the journey that would make him transform into someone else, maybe a far better and stronger human than what he actually is, perhaps the best version of himself? What would you do if you were that man? What you pitch to that man is what I presume you would do yourself. Well, as for me, I took that one step…

Book Description
"For years, the stations of the Hinder Stars, those old stations closest to Sol, have lagged behind the great megastations of the Beyond, like Pell and Cyteen. But new opportunities and fears arise when Alpha station, the oldest of them all, receives news of a huge incoming faster-than-light ship with no identification. The denizens of Alpha wait anxiously for news about the outsiders, each with their own suspicions about the ship and its motivations. Ross and Fallon, crew members of the Galway, believe the unidentified ship belongs to Pell and has come to investigate another massive ship docked at Alpha, The Rights of Man. Though Rights is under the command of the Earth Company, it is not quite perfected--and its true purpose is shrouded in mystery. James Robert Neihart, the captain of the strange ship--finally identified as one of the two largest ships of the Beyond, the Merchanter vessel Finity's End--has heard whispers of The Rights of Man and wonders at its design and purpose, especially as Sol has struggled to rival the progress of the Farther Stars. Now docked at Alpha, he must convince the crews that there is more to The Rights of Man than meets the eye. Because the reasons behind the creation of The Rights of Man, and its true plans, could change everything--not just for Sol, but for the Hinder Stars and the Beyond itself."--
