Dragon Space: A Star Rigger Omnibus (Star Rigger Universe)

A boxed set of two Star Rigger novels:

Dragons in the Stars â‚¬" When star pilot Jael LeBrae rebels against an abusive ship's master and dares to fly "the mountain route" through the Fluxâ‚¬"the hyperspace navigated by riggersâ‚¬"she dismisses the legend claiming that dragons lurk waiting to duel unwary riggers. But appear they do, challenging Jael to a fight to the death. Thanks to the wisdom of a dragon named Highwing, she survives the encounter and returns to starport wiser and stronger. But she hardly expects that fate will bring her back to that realm, to defend Highwing against a darkness that seeks his death.

Dragon Rigger â‚¬" War engulfs the dragon world, fueled by an unseen foeâ‚¬"a creature of terrible power, known as Tar-skel, "the Nail of Strength." Tar-skel seeks to shape all of space and time into a web of power and death. The Dream Mountain, source of knowledge and life to all dragons, is held by the enemy; and yet, a single hope burns in the dragons' hearts. Led by Windrush, son of Highwing, the dragons await the "One," whom prophecy says shall come from outside the realmâ‚¬"the One who will challenge the darkness. That "One" is Jael LeBrae, human star rigger. Once before, Jael aided the dragons in their struggle. Now she must return to face at last the terrible wrath of Tar-skel. And according to prophecy, the cost of changing the realm is Jael's own life.

Science fiction with mythic dimension, from the Nebula-nominated author of Eternity's End and The Chaos Chronicles!

Individual novels appeared in print from Tor Books. DRM-free omnibus edition.
