Dream Dancer
Kerrion Empire Book 1
by Janet Morris
Genre: Epic SciFi Fantasy Adventure
The universe called. She answered.
Everything you've seen or read till
now took you only to the brink . . .
Neither
pure fantasy, nor straight science fiction, nor earthbound dynastic
saga, Dream Dancer is a stunning amalgam of all three. It is a family
saga with the epic appeal of Dune and the action and excitement of
Star Wars. It is a saga of love, power and treachery that will appeal
to men and women equally; full of action, compulsively readable and
quite unlike anything being published in the realms of fantasy
today.
The
heroine, Shebat, is a remarkable girl from Earth. She is brought to
the vast empire of the Kerrion family by a renegade son; named as its
future ruler on a whim of his autocratic father; abducted to the
slums where the Kerrions' slaves drug themselves with powerful
mystical sorcery; and finally rescued to take part in a great
rebellion. She falls in love with one brother but marries another and
becomes more Kerrion than some born to the name. A magical seductress
of men, passionate in her lust for power, Shebat moves among those
who control the destinies of millions, for whom treachery and
betrayal are as easy as murder. Set in the timeless future on a
primitive, savage Earth and on the sophisticated habitats of deep
space, Dream Dancer is the first volume of a three-part saga.
"Not
since Dune have we witnessed a power struggle of such awesome
intensity. Dream, Dancer may well be the I, Claudius of fantasy
novels. A literary feast!" -- Eric Van Lustbader, author of The
Ninja.
"Dream
Dancer is a fascinating and lyrical story, told with great invention"
-- Peter Straub, author of Ghost Story.
"The
pacing is brisk; fascinating concepts abound." -- Booklist

Best selling author Janet Morris began writing in 1976 and has since published more than 30 novels, many co-authored with her husband Chris Morris or others. She has contributed short fiction to the shared universe fantasy series Thieves World, in which she created the Sacred Band of Stepsons, a mythical unit of ancient fighters modeled on the Sacred Band of Thebes. She created, orchestrated, and edited the Bangsian fantasy series Heroes in Hell, writing stories for the series as well as co-writing the related novel, The Little Helliad, with Chris Morris. She wrote the bestselling Silistra Quartet in the 1970s, including High Couch of Silistra, The Golden Sword, Wind from the Abyss, and The Carnelian Throne. This quartet had more than four million copies in Bantam print alone, and was translated into German, French, Italian, Russian and other languages. In the 1980s, Baen Books released a second edition of this landmark series. The third edition is the Author's Cut edition, newly revised by the author for Perseid Press. Most of her fiction work has been in the fantasy and science fiction genres, although she has also written historical and other novels. Morris has written, contributed to, or edited several book-length works of non-fiction, as well as papers and articles on nonlethal weapons, developmental military technology and other defense and national security topics.
Janet says: 'People often ask what book to read first. I recommend "I, the Sun" if you like ancient history; "The Sacred Band," a novel, if you like heroic fantasy; "Lawyers in Hell" if you like historical fantasy set in hell; "Outpassage" if you like hard science fiction; "High Couch of Silistra" if you like far-future dystopian or philosophical novels. I am most enthusiastic about the definitive Perseid Press Author's Cut editions, which I revised and expanded.'
