Angel his sentient ship computer dives into the gravity well in an attempt to slingshot back out and transits to an alternative universe, they arrive in an area adjacent to a deep space trade route which obviously goes somewhere. They set up a forward base on a convenient asteroid and monitor the trade rote. One day while monitoring they observe a vessel acting suspiciously, and eventually identify that it has attacked a vessel as it enters space on the trade route, they assume that this is not appropriate conduct and go to the assistance of the vessel. After taking out the attacker they identify six survivors in the aft compartment, they haul the hulk clear of the vessel and transfer the survivor to provide them with medical aid. Whilst they are providing the aid ndr is able to thought read them to acquire information on their system and its language; which allows Angel to become reasonably conversant with the structure of the language. They also discover that the survivors were captives held hostage on the vessel to ensure it had not been sabotaged. ndr recruits them as base staff and angel contacts the vessel which turns out to be a tube runner carrying passengers in transit from the Faal system to the Clondone system.

Book Description
"Extremely impressive . . . . A wonderful read from a born storyteller." —Chris Cleave, New York Times bestselling author of Little Bee "A wicked sense of humor . . . . Subversive and thrilling . . . It will keep you up all night." —The New York Times Book Review "Like Jane Austen on crack cocaine . . . . A triumph of wit and brio." —The Scotsman An unforgettable historical tale of piano playing, passions, and female power The setting of Sedition by Katharine Grant: London, 1794. The problem: Four nouveau rich fathers with five marriageable daughters. The plan: The young women will learn to play the piano, give a concert for young Englishmen who have titles but no fortunes, and will marry very well indeed. The complications: The lascivious (and French) piano teacher; the piano maker's jealous (and musically gifted) daughter; the one of these marriageable daughters with a mating plan of her own. While it might be a truth universally acknowledged that a man in possession of a title and no money must be in want of a fortune, what does a sexually awakened young woman want? In her wickedly alluring romp through the late-Georgian London, Italian piano making, and tightly-fitted Polonaise gowns, Katharine Grant has written a startling and provocative debut.

Book Description
This volume contains Victor Hugo's 1833 historical play, "Mary Tudor". It portrays the rise, fall, and eventual execution of Fabiano Fabiani, a fictional favourite of Mary I of England (1516-1558). Fabiani is incarcerated within the Tower of London and remains there until his death, despite the Queen's later desire to spare his life. Highly recommended for lovers of historical Romance. Contents include: "First Day", "Second Day", "Third Day Part I. Which of the Two?", and "Third Day Part II". Victor Marie Hugo (1802 - 1885) was a French novelist, dramatist, and poet belonging to the Romantic movement. He is widely hailed as one of the most accomplished and well-known French writers, originally achieving renown for his poetical endeavours-the most notable of which are the volumes "Les Contemplations" and "La Légende des siècles". Outside of his native country, Hugo's best-known works are his novels: "Les Misérables" (1862) and "Notre-Dame de Paris" (1831), commonly known as "The Hunchback of Notre-Dame". Aside from his literary achievements, he also produced over 4,000 beautiful drawings and was a prominent campaigner for social and political issues, including abolishing capital punishment. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this book now in an affordable, high-quality, modern edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
