Stewards of the Flame

[altariel]

To my great excitement, one of my favourite authors, Sylvia Engdahl, is publishing a new novel, her first in 26 years.

Sylvia Engdahl's novel The Far Side of Evil was my most important reading experience as a child, after The Lord of the Rings. It may be the book that turned me into a sociologist. A heavy responsibility to lay at anyone's door. I think Ursula Le Guin might have had a hand in it too.

The new novel is called Stewards of the Flame (yes I know!) and is intended as an adult novel. edge_of_ruin, you are first up to borrow it.

Oooh, that looks interesting! Might be relevant reading for my course *evil grin*

Ooh! Sounds irresistible - and a chance to use my favorite icon.

I never heard this name before. But "Stewards" and "Flame" together... it pushes buttons.

Stewards of the Flame? It's like she can read your mind...

I confess that I'm not familiar with the work of Ms Engdahl. Perhaps I should be.

I think Ursula Le Guin might have had a hand in it too.

That I can readily believe, She writes what one might well call sociological SF.

Oh good, another author for my collection. I can't imagine how I missed this one in my youth, particularly as I had a Saturday job in a children's library!

Oooh!

(I'm sure I could say something more--but that makes me incoherently happy.)
