Elizabeth Moon and Anne McCaffrey's wonderful novel brings to mind early Heinlein. Sassinak, the female protagonist, is a powerful and lovable creation. I'm looking forward to more of her adventures."?Rocky Mountain News

The sequel to Sassinak stars Sassy, now an admiral, finally eradicating the planet pirates from the Federation of Sentient Planets with the help of her crew, and the ever-hardy Lunzie.

"The brainship Carialle and her brawn, Keff, find a habitable planet inhabited by an apparent mix of races and cultures and dominated by an elite of apparent magicians.
