It was astonishing how relaxing it was to chop vegetables.
This is reported to be the very first sentence of the new book. Interesting...

"Things you need to bear in mind, though I make no doubt it will hurt your head." Padi curled her fingers close into her palm, leaving only the thumb showing, pointing up.

"One: Shan yos'Galan's melant'i is complex and varied. He is Priscilla's lifemate, elder brother to three siblings, and my father. In addition, he is a master pilot, and a master trader. Lastly, he is Thodelm yos'Galan, keeper of the Line, its debts, and its credits. In this role, he is also advisor to the delm."

Truly sad news tonight: Steve Miller has died. He suffered a heart attack as he was about to go for a walk.

Yes, this is going to be tough for Sharon. They've been partners and collaborators for >45 years.

Wow, that long. And to lose him so suddenly with no warning. I hope that in time their remarkable legacy together can bring her some comfort.

I never met Steve in person, but his passing feels like a personal loss. Their creation has enriched my world and I feel a debt of gratitude to them both for so many years of reading pleasure.

Like you, Victoria, I never met them in person, but the loss feels personal. I've been reading their books since the '80s, and have followed their moves to and around Maine.

Yes, and I appreciate how you’ve kept us up to date over the years. Someone wrote in the condolences section following Steve’s obituary that they’d had lost a friend they’d never met. https://file770.com/steven-richard-m...ruary-20-2024/. Beautifully said.

I owe you a thanks Charlie. You introduced me to the series, as you probably have many other fortunate readers, and it’s turned out to be a wonderful gift.

Diviner's Bow by Sharon Lee&Steve Miller April 2025

Diviner's Bow by Sharon Lee&Steve Miller
April 2025
Quote:

NEW ENTRY IN THE BEST-SELLING LIADEN UNIVERSE® SERIES

A world divided cannot stand.

A people divided cannot thrive.

The Oracle has Seen the end of Civilization, and the end of the Haosa, too. Reactions to this are—mixed.

On the one hand, foresight is a notoriously erratic Gift. On the other, can Civilization—or the Haosa—afford to assume that the prophecy is an error?

And if the Oracle has Seen truly—is it possible to alter the future?

While well-meaning people struggle to implement change that might, at least, mitigate a disaster, others are looking toward the profit they can make from the end of the world.

In the meantime, the Tree-and-Dragon Trade Team has concluded its whole port inventory, and is about to propose Colemeno as a trade-hub and anchor to a brand-new route. Padi yos’Galan is preparing to step into new roles, personally, and in trade.

And the lives of two small children may be the thread that binds the future—or unravels it.

Two ways to per-order Baen April Bundle or Amazon.

I like that we can finally pre-order Baen eBooks from Amazon. I'd have bought the Baen bundle, except that there's nothing else in there that interests me at all. It really needs at least two books I actually want to read to make those worth it.
