BVC releases "Fire Sanctuary"
Mar. 29th, 2011 09:19 amI've been reading Katharine Eliska Kimbriel's "Nuala" books and will have an overall discussion of them rsn now. Today's news is that Fire Sanctuary is now available in multi-format DRM-free ebook editions from Book View Cafe. Here's the skinny (click on the title below for the link to download it).
FIRE SANCTUARY (Science Fiction)
Katharine Eliska Kimbriel
$4.99
Rising like a phoenix from the embers of an abandoned scientific expedition, the people of Nuala are the definition of survivors. They have fought back against the deadly radiation levels of their beautiful, dangerous world. Nualans have battled frightening mutations, genetic shift, and the highest rate of infertility in the Axis Republic. Their reward is a society based on tolerance, compassion, and cultural diversity, descendants who can sense a lie (and a few who can heal by touch) -- and a bonanza of the rarest platinum group metal in the known galaxy.
Balanced on the border between the Axis Republic and the Fewha Empire, ruled by a constitutional monarchy, the small Nualan system counters its low birth rate by sending out its children to search for mates to expand the planetary gene pool. Some Axis citizens choose Nuala. One, a decorated soldier named Moran, is about to marry a Nualan princess.
But heirs to power and wealth have enemies, both homegrown and interstellar. There are those who would kill to keep an Axis warrior from marrying a Nualan . . . and those who think it's the perfect smoke screen to keep anyone from noticing where the border is about to shift.
