No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
It’s a big Spiral Arm, and the scarred man, Donavan buigh, has gone missing in it, upsetting the harper Mearana’s plans for a reconciliation between her parents. Bridget ban, a Hound of the League, is unconvinced that reconciliation is either possible or desirable; but nonetheless has dispatched agents to investigate the disappearance. After all, Donovan had once done the favor for her (in Up Jim River).
There is a struggle in the Lion’s Mouth, the bureau that oversees the Shadows—a clandestine civil war of sabotage and assassination between those who would overthrow Those of Name and the loyalists who support them. And Donovan, one time Confederal agent, has been recalled to take a key part, willingly or no.
"A marvelously heroic ancient legend reborn in humanity’s future days. Space opera fans will be swept away by the poetic rhythm and subtle plot construction."
--Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)
"Fascinating and intelligent."--Kirkus Reviews __

—Sacramento Book Review on *The January Dancer

_“Flavored like Celtic poetry, The January Dancer is the first effort in what promises to be a space opera of epic proportions…. Will leave readers both wide-eyed and breathless.”
_ —Starlog*
_“ The January Dancer is an innovative intellectual and stimulating take on the space opera in which, once again, Flynn demonstrates that he is a writer of the highest caliber.
_—Interzone
_
"For fans of… Brainy first-contact tales (Carl Sagan meets Umberto Eco). Lowdown: bursting with pungent historical detail and Big Theme musings, this dense, provocative novel offers big rewards."
—Entertainment Weekly on *Eifelheim
_
__"A deeply researched and well-thought-out novel that moves us and makes us smarter just for having read it…. Excellent."
—Orson Scott Card on _Eifelheim
_
" Firestar was a mighty hard act to follow, but Michael Flynn has done so, and brilliantly. Rogue Star* continues the story, with the same imaginative realism, suspenseful narration, and vivid humanness, plus all sorts of new ideas and insights."
—Poul Anderson
"Another powerful tale of far-future humanity…. Space opera fans will be swept away…will leave them clamoring for future Donovan buigh adventures."—Publishers Weekly, starred review on In The Lion’s Mouth__
