Becalmed: A Diving Universe Novella - Paperback

by Kristine Kathryn Rusch (Author)

Mae, chief linguist on the Ivoire, heads a diplomatic mission to Ukhanda. Her handling of relations with the Quurzod leads to a battle that causes the Ivoire's anacapa drive to malfunction, stranding the ship in foldspace.

Mae can't remember what she did wrong on the mission: all she knows is that she's one of the few survivors. If she doesn't recall it, she won't be able to prevent another disaster when the Ivoire escapes foldspace. If the Ivoire escapes foldspace.

Because what no one talks about--and everyone fears--is that the Ivoire is becalmed...forever.

One of the untold stories in Kristine Kathryn Rusch's award-winning Diving Series, Becalmed stands alone--yet answers questions long-time readers might have about the history of the Fleet.

Praise for Becalmed:

" Becalmed] is quite fascinating and another fine tale from Rusch."
