"Ancient China, mysteries, legends, the world class double act of Master Li Kao - a murderous old sage 'with a slight flaw in his character' and Number Ten Ox - an insightful lunk of a farm hand."
"The last in a sequence of rescue missions for failed colonies. The political tensions finally resolve, idealists against realists. Sadly out of print, these are some of my earliest and best books."
"A great future war story. Relatavistic effects, massive losses and the isolation of space warfare all serve to completely dislocate the protagonists from the cause they are fighting for."
