Stewards of the Flame
Aug. 2nd, 2007 01:40 pmTo 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.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

edge_of_ruin, you are first up to borrow it.I picked up an ex-library h/b copy of Heritage of the Star by Sylvia Engdahl yesterday; it's in good condition, although it has some library stamping inside, and has been covered in see-through plastic.
Heritage of the Star was published in the US as This Star Shall Abide; it's the first part of the Children of the Star trilogy (now back in print).
First to ask can have it (comments are screened).
ETA: Gone now.
