The seventh book in Lisanne Norman’s Sholan Alliance long-running science fiction series of alien contact and interspecies conflictIn the midst of unrest on his home world of Shola, Kusac has chosen to undertake a secret mission of which only those in the highest echelons of the Brotherhood are aware. And even they are not privy to all the information Kusac has uncovered, nor all the plans he has made. Carrie and Kaid have not been told the truth. So when Kusac flees Shola, seemingly abandoning his responsibilities, his Triad, and his clan, Carrie is devastated and Kaid is furious. Yet Carrie will not give up on Kusac, certain he will one day return to explain his actions. But whether Kusac and his elite team can actually accomplish their mission and escape with their lives remains to be seen. For to achieve their goal they must rendezvous with the Valtegan general who is Kusac’s archenemy in the hopes of rescuing Kusac’s young son. But even if he succeeds—branded rebel by his own people, struggling to deal with new powers he scarcely understands, and caught between the machinations of his own god and those of a secret and ancient alien organization—can Kusac hope to regain all that he has lost on Shola?

Praise for the Sholan Alliance series: “Series fans will have a field day (or two) reading this delightful, but complex tale with multiple subplots.” —Midwest Book Review “Dark Nadir is full of fast-paced adventure and has more alien species that the Star Wars cantina! Fans of Lisanne Norman’s Sholan Alliance series will love this newest installment. Science fiction catnip.” —B&N Explorations “Norman expands the exciting concepts of her first book into an extraordinary look into an alien culture, developing a rich variety of subplots that will leave you desperate to find out what happens next.” —Romantic Times Magazine “Norman is a masterful storyteller, and this is a gripping story.” —Kliatt “Lisanne Norman handles her material superbly—knowing just when to ease up on drama and go for humor.” —Starlog Magazine “This is a big, sprawling, convoluted novel sure to appeal to fans of C.J. Cherryh and others who have made space adventure their territory.” —SF Chronicle
