Heinlein Award-winning SF writer Michael Flynn returns to space opera with Up Jim River. There is a river on Dangchao Waypoint  a small world out beyond Die Bold. It is a longish river as such things go  with a multitude of bayous and rapids and waterfalls  and it runs through many a strange and hostile country. Going up it  you can lose everything.  Going up it  you can find anything. The Hound Bridget ban has vanished and her employer  the Kennel (the mysterious superspy agency of the League) has given up the search. But her daughter  the harper Mearana  has not. She enlists the scarred man  Donovan  to aid her in her search. With the reluctant assent and financial aid of the Kennel  they set forth. Bridget ban was following hints of an artifact that would protect the League from the Confederacy for aye. Mearana is eager to follow that trail  but Donovan is reluctant  because whatever is at the end of it made a Hound disappear. What it would do to a harper and a drunk is far too easy to imagine.  Donovans mind had been shattered by Those of Name  the rulers of the Confederacy  and no fewer than seven quarreling personalities now inhabit his skull. How can he hope to see her through safely? Together  they follow Bridget bans trail to the raw worlds of the frontier  edging ever closer to the uncivilized and barbarian planets of the Wild.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44967238729781,"sku":"ByrdShop_0765322846","price":59.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780765322845.jpg?v=1770641085","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/up-jim-river","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
