  Boarding Party - Report From An...

  A greenship captain detours into a restricted system for one practical reason: to save his failing cargo before it withers beyond recovery. He expects superstition, distance, and darkness to shield him from notice. What he does not expect is a child bold enough to climb into the sky. 
  When a single stowaway slips aboard and vanishes with valuable company property, the captain gives chase without hesitation. The pursuit turns dangerous fast. High above a quiet village, technology meant for nourishment becomes a lifeline, then a weapon. The captain must weigh pride against prudence as wind, gravity, and fury close in. By the time he reaches orbit again, he understands something uncomfortable about the people below—and about himself. 
  Robert F. Young brought a distinctive warmth and irony to science fiction throughout the 1950s and 1960s. His work appeared regularly in magazines such as Galaxy, The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, and Startling Stories. Young is best known for stories like “The Dandelion Girl” and “Little Dog Gone,” tales that blend speculative ideas with human-scale emotion and gentle humor. In Boarding Party, that same tonal balance is on full display: a formal interstellar report slowly gives way to embarrassment, alarm, and reluctant admiration as a confident captain meets an opponent he never expected.

  Sybal and Tzarik set out on a quest to find a way to break the fate-binding tying Sharar and Tzarik’s fate together. Their journey takes them across the map as they try to bargain with the gods themselves, but nothing seems to give them the answer they seek. 
  Weakened by the malignant wound, Sharar cannot steep himself in the magic of the Mahit’Onomicon, afraid the power might overcome him. But he has a more immediate battle to fight. He seeks to strike out against Tarkan, manipulating the sultana into doing his bidding. 
  Tarkan sits upon the ruby throne in Alika with an army of undead and risen alike. But now it is time for the final step. Sure of himself and his power, Tarkan travels to Xia to break open the Crypt and finish his long overdue plan once and for all. 
  In this thrilling conclusion, Sybal must rise to face her greatest challenge yet. For in a world balanced on the edge of oblivion, even immortality may not be enough to protect those she holds dear. The fate of the living rests in the hands of the dead, and the price of victory may be more than any of them can bear to pay.
