Description
When Lt. Jade Mahelona defeated the cyborg Umlac, she inherited his interstellar kingdom—and made herself a target. Her new subjects are two-ton blobs who know that if they hunt her down and kill her, they get to take her place. She takes refuge with the reclusive Elliquine, who adopt her into their herd and use her as their liaison to other species.
But Earth faces invasion by Umlac’s evil brothers, and Jade is thrust into the middle of an interstellar war to save it. Old alliances shatter and new ones are forged. Earth needs Jade, but she can’t go back to Earth without abandoning the Elliquine and her blob-like subjects, both of whom are counting on her to help them.
Jade must learn to balance the absolute power in the kingdom of cyborgs with the compassion she inherited from her grandmother, while avoiding spies and assassins. She must sort out her loyalties, and trust in the loyalties of her new subjects—but with an intelligent blob, there’s always more to it than meets the eye.
If you love fast-paced adventure on exotic worlds, interstellar political intrigue, and humans struggling with alien culture clash, you must read Umlac’s Legacy.
The author of this title is listed as “jimmeeksjohnson”, which should be, as on the cover, Jim Meeks-Johnson.
