Radicals on the Road
Traveling to Hanoi during the U.S. war in Vietnam was a long and dangerous undertaking. Even though a neutral commission operated the flights, the possibility of being shot down by bombers in the air and antiaircraft guns on the ground was very real. American travelers recalled landing in blackout conditions, without lights even for the runway, and upon their arrival seeking refuge immediately in bomb shelters.

Young Rissa
The “blockbuster” first novel in the action-packed Rissa Kerguelen space opera (Seattle Times). Rissa breathes a sigh of relief as the ship lifts off. It seems she has escaped danger, and no one has recognized the scientifically altered being as the beautiful young heir to the Hilzein Establishment—or so it seems. Possessing the only force capable of challenging the tyranny that devastated the Earth and universe, Rissa can do almost anything—then again, almost anything can happen to her while she is doing it too.
