Long
ago in a galaxy far, far away… Eighteen-year-old Viv Ahvren is a warrior
of a proud race of humanoids, the Vivitare. The Vivitare have recently
conquered the T’Chin confederation of planets where 40 species of intelligent
beings live. Meanwhile, Ahvren’s sister, Sabri, has been promised to marry
a man she detests, Davrik, the emperor’s son. Ahvren plots a way to ask
for Sabri’s freedom by volunteering to uncover a the source of a rumor
to kill the emperor. He consults an bibliogoth to help him. An bibliogoth
is a scholar, and this particular bibliogoth is part of the T’chin species,
who look like extremely large insects to us humanoids.
Part mystery, part fantasy, but mostly science fiction, A Matter of Profit is sure to please those who love stories about imaginary worlds. (Melissa Bowman, Melissa.Bowman@pisd.edu, Armstrong Middle School, Lone Star Book Award nominee, 2003-2004) |
