As an empath, Shadith is the perfect employee of Excavations Limited, a high-tech private detective agency. But when assigned to locate and return a creature who has been abducted by a smuggler, Shadith cannot in good conscience fulfill her mission. Not when it means returning the creature to a people who mean to destroy it. Conclusion of the Shadowsong trilogy.
I received my order within just a few days and the condition was as advertised.
A wonderful balance of character and plot
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 28 years ago
In some of Jo Clayton's books, the biggest shortcoming has been her tendency to design on a grand scale -- races, worlds, cultures and dialects in which you could literally get lost. The focus of the book was diminished as you were continually distracted by wondering what a particular word meant or what a particular religion was all about. In CRYSTAL HEAT, Clayton strikes a precise and enchanting balance as she presents, again, races and worlds on a grand scale, but simply presented and not at all a deterrent to an intricate plot with more twists than a roomful of Chubby Checkers.
