Title: The swashbuckling saga continues
Product review: InYoung Rissa, we saw our heroine grow up as a child-slave of the state. A blinding stroke of good luck released her from indenture, then a series of benefactors helped her hide her fortune and become the adult that her childhood never prepared her to be. She escapes from earth ---- and "Rissa and Tregare" begins. She and her husband, master pirate and semi-mythical opponent to the tyrants of Earth, accumulate a small militia of freed ships, and arm them thanks to the skills of free weaponsmiths. Towards the end, mysterious aliens ally with their cause, and the prepare their march to free Earth.It's swashbuckling feel-goodism in the grand tradition. Bujold's much later hero Miles Vorkosigan (among others) follow closely in Rissa Kerguelen's footsteps - and I mean that as praise. There's nothing grand or eternal in this story, but it's huge fun anyway. And Rissa overcomes that little bedroom problem along the way. Enjoy!-- wiredweird
