A. C. Crispin, October 2012
A Secret is Concealed. A StarBridge Telepath Senses the Truth. Can a Bloodbath Be Averted?
A newly discovered feline species seeks admission to the Cooperative League of Systems. Skillful at dialog…and deception…they are hiding a terrible secret. A secret that would disqualify them from CLS membership. A secret that has created seething pockets of underground rebellion. A secret that could plunge their world into chaos.
Praise for the StarBridge Series

“Crispin’s aliens are a diverse and fascinating lot…She’ll be the leading candidate for the title of the ‘the Norton of the 1990s!’” — Dragon Magazine
“This is space opera in the best tradition…just tremendous; Im delighted to recommend it.” — Judith Tarr
“This is the type of rousing adventure story which Heinlein made so popular a generation ago…Excellent!” — Andre Norton
