Razor's Edge (Sholan Alliance Book 4) Kindle Edition

The fourth book in Lisanne Norman's Sholan Alliance long-running science fiction series of alien contact and interspecies conflict

Carrie and Kusac—she a human telepath, he a Sholan one—have together formed a bond stronger than all the differences between their two races. They have survived the political manipulations of both their peoples, as well as successfully walking the Fire Margins, journeying into the past with Kaid, the third member of their Triad, and returning with shocking revelations about the Valtegan enemy and the ancient Cataclysm that transformed Sholan society.
 
But the price of breaking with tradition comes high, as does the ongoing protection offered by the military. And now Carrie, Kusac, Kaid, and T’Chebbi must undertake a rescue mission to the distant world of Jalna to save present-day Sholans and humans who have been trapped there, as well as a Sholan pair from the age of the Cataclysm.
 
What they can’t foresee is that the Valtegans planted the seeds of destruction on Jalna long ago, transforming the locals into a dangerously unstable race and threatening the telepathic powers of Sholans and humans alike.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Praise for the Sholan Alliance series:

"Series fans will have a field day (or two) reading this delightful, but complex tale with multiple subplots." —Midwest Book Review

“Dark Nadir is full of fast-paced adventure and has more alien species that the Star Wars cantina! Fans of Lisanne Norman’s Sholan Alliance series will love this newest installment. Science fiction catnip.” —B&N Explorations

"Norman expands the exciting concepts of her first book into an extraordinary look into an alien culture, developing a rich variety of subplots that will leave you desperate to find out what happens next." —Romantic Times Magazine

“Norman is a masterful storyteller, and this is a gripping story.” —Kliatt

"Lisanne Norman handles her material superbly—knowing just when to ease up on drama and go for humor." —Starlog Magazine

"This is a big, sprawling, convoluted novel sure to appeal to fans of C.J. Cherryh and others who have made space adventure their territory." —SF Chronicle

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I was born in Glasgow, Scotland, on 15th February.

"Strong-willed, independent, a whirlwind, a dreamer, she lives in another world." These phrases followed me around from my earliest days. They were partly right: I had grander plans than a world, though, I was all ready creating the universe of the Sholan Alliance, where magic, Warriors, and science all co-exist.

Following my dreams, and the sun, I moved to the USA in 2004. I am owned by my son, and 2 cats, Anubis and Ripley, and live in Southern California.

Book 4 answers questions about characters’ pasts, fleshes out the Sholan culture and introduces us to three other alien cultures and outlooks. Lots of action scenes and statements on morality and cooperation, but continues upbeat and positive.

Another fantastic book in the Sholan Alliance Series by Lissane Norman. Each time one of the books in her series has come in the mail, I've been unable to put it down until I've read it cover to cover! Great book, great author, great series!

Terrific, however the author's endings are too strongly tied to the next book. This series isn't 6 books, but one long book in separate covers. Great writing and excellent plot tangles worthy of J.K or J.R.R
