Description:
When the Sixth Swarm of the insectoid dronons began their invasion of human worlds, three fugitives were thrown together as they fled before the wave of alien destruction. Gallen O'Day, a human bounty hunter, Orick, a sentient bear, and Maggie Flynn, a beautiful orphan, made a desperate stand. In an attempt to stop the attack, they challenged the queen of the invading forces. Against all hope, Gallen defeated the Dronon Lord protector in ritual combat, piercing its exoskeleton. Only an ancient system of transport gates has kept the desperate trio one world ahead of the Dronon probes and scout ships. But now, out of worlds and out of hope, they are stranded on a planet called Ruin, far beyond the gates and off the star charts.
Editorial Reviews:
"David Farland's Golden Queen trilogy is . . . the equivalent of Lord of the Rings in space. It begins small, as a seemingly insignificant character gets caught up in the affairs of dangerous, evil beings that threaten everything good about human life. Then with twists and turns that left me gasping, Farland launches us into space to do things that at the beginning of the book we couldn't have dreamed of. . . .Farland is simply one of the best sci-fi and fantasy writers alive."
-Orson Scott Card, Hugo, Nebula, and World Fantasy Award Winner
"David Farland can dispense the flash and dazzle of space opera while at the same time providing tough, real, sympathetic characters. . . . I enjoyed the Golden Queen with a very special pleasure."-- Hugo and Nebula Winner Roger Zelazny.
"Fans should get a charge out of the continuing adrenaline-packed adventures of the ever charming Gallen, Maggie, and Orick, the talking bear." - Publisher's Weekly
"When you want to slap a character for her naïve arrogance on one page and comfort her on the next, you know you've found a writer with a gift for characterization. [David Farland] has that gift. He also writes a neatly plotted novel that combines the swashbuckling action with hi-tech SF. . . . This is an enjoyable story. Recommended." --Starlog Magazine
"A rainbow mixture of technology and mythology, filled with vibrant colors, larger-than-life heroes, and thunderous action. --International bestselling Author Kevin J. Anderson
