O knihe

Tales of Roumanhi, Homequest: Liberation is the first in a series of novels about the land of Roumanhi and the almost insurmountable problems the inhabitants face in their struggle for freedom.

T'skya is young, inexperienced and expendable when she is sent to Roumanhi from the Homequest, a vast spaceship that is coming to the end of its functional life; her duty to secure a new home for her people. Heading for a city, she crashes in the desert, only to wake up in an ancient forest on the wrong side of the mountains with a spear in her flesh, surrounded by hostile Roumanhi forest dwellers who think she is an enemy.

She soon learns that the dwellers from Wilderwood enclave have good reason to hate and fear the race now dominating their lives. Their families have been split up, their people brutalised and enslaved, their treasured land ravaged and plundered and their monarchy slaughtered. T'skya strongly desires to help, but the natives with their spears and arrows are no match for the more advanced enemy with their blasters and laser cannon.

Eventually she formulates a very dangerous plan to secure their freedom; a plan which endangers those closest to her, and which leads to revelations that change all their lives.

Liberation is a tale of heroic sacrifice, of tragic loss and passionate desire, of ancient races and peculiar creatures, of treasured mythology and warfare. It is the story of a group of diverse people, both friend and foe, who share a goal - Liberation.
