"This futuristic is bound to be one of the best books of the year!"
The Tseir have declared that Arnoth of Valenwood is the
most dangerous person in the universe because of his
pivotal role in their stunning defeat at Candor. They
decide that Arnoth has to be more than just eliminated,
which would make him into a martyr. He must be captured,
probed for weaknesses, and immediately converted to the
Tseir lifestyle. The Tseir force Arnoth into surrendering on his home planet
of Ellowan by threatening to destroy what is left of the
native population. On the space ship back to the Tseir
homeworld, Sierra is one of his guards. She is different
than the usual clone of a perfect being that all the Tseir
seem to be. Instead, she is clumsy, has a sense of humor,
and is always in trouble. Not realizing that she is in
disguise, Arnoth finds himself attracted to the Tseir, but
Ellowans do not touch their enemies. Sierra is drawn
towards her captive, but must be careful so she does not
reveal her real identity until she completes her covert
mission. Even with Batty the Lingbat on board to guide
them, this couple has no prayer of finding a future
together. THE WHITE SUN is a great futuristic romance that has appeal
to fans of both genres. The story line is action-packed yet
humorous. The lead protagonists are a fabulous duo,
struggling with their growing love vs. honor and duty. The
spectacular Stobie Piel provides her fans with a novel that
is sure to be acknowledged as one of the best books of the
year. Since it is only January, writers have an
extraordinarily high bar to attain to match this tale's
level of excellence. Harriet Klausner / November 1998
