A new Paksenarrion novel

I remember getting the trilogy. Courtney had just died. I had a court hearing in Montague, a couple-three counties away on a pro-bono case I was handling (one of the domestic abuse cases I handled when I was in private practice in Wichita Falls). It was a terrible time for me, but obviously not something that would wait and not something I could pass off to someone else as there wasn't any money in it.

Much to my surprise, the client, who was broke and pretty much homeless (which is how you get free services from lawyers) gave me the trilogy as a gift to say thank you.

I and my wife loved the books. For a variety of reasons Elizabeth Moon was unable to write more of them for a very long time. But now she has.

It is heroic fantasy where the heroism is that of humanity being heroic, not of supernal types expressing themselves, of duty and loyalty and faith.

Oath of Fealty by Elizabeth Moon (Hardcover - Mar. 16, 2010)

Other Editions: Kindle Edition, Paperback, Audio Download, Audio CD; See All.

I have really enjoyed the books. The latest, my wife and I were both sick (we caught something on our visit to Utah), we had a date night with Rachel having a sleepover at a friend's house. But we were too sick to do much, so we read the book and considered ourselves well rewarded.

Otherwise, Elizabeth Moon is an Austinite sort of person and one who has lived a life of principle, and is admirable for it.
