About this ebook

Dragons in space? A preposterous legend. But when star pilot Jael defies an abusive ship’s master and rigs “the mountain route” through the hyperdimensional Flux, the dragons indeed appear—and challenge her to duel. If she escapes, she would be wise never to return. But the currents of the Flux are fickle, and when fate steers her this way again, she finds Highwing the dragon under sentence of death for the kindness he showed her. Only Jael can intervene—and so she must, for the sake of one who risked his life to save hers.

A genre-bending novel of the Star Rigger Universe, from the Nebula-nominated author of Eternity’s End and The Chaos Chronicles.

Original print publication by Tor Books. Also available in Dragon Space: A Star Rigger Omnibus.

“Carver writes powerfully and clearly and has produced a book that is likely to find an audience among hard SF readers.” —Booklist

“An interesting and entertaining blend of genres.” —Science Fiction Chronicle

“Carver's prose effectively lends a spare yet evocative resonance to the draconian realm. Like a good stage performer, this story should leave its audience wanting more.” —John Bunnell, Amazing Stories  

Ratings and reviews

Action Science Fantasy. I love both Science Fiction and fantasy. This book held me enthralled. The characters are very real. Their lives and personalities come alive. Pure enjoyment. Left me eager to continue reading the the next one and the next.

The only thing I didn't really like about the book is the few curse words in it, but I skip over them putting a BLANK in that spot, and go on reading. Other than that, it's a good story.

Fast paced, great characters, intriguing story. Loved it.
