- Young Rissa
The “blockbuster” first novel in the action-packed Rissa Kerguelen space opera (Seattle Times). Rissa breathes a sigh of relief as the ship lifts off. It seems she has escaped danger, and no one has recognized the scientifically altered being as the beautiful young heir to the Hilzein Establishment—or so it seems. Possessing the only force capable of challenging the tyranny that devastated the Earth and universe, Rissa can do almost anything—then again, almost anything can happen to her while she is doing it too.
- Rissa and Tregare
The author of Young Rissa continues the orphan girl’s saga as she teams up with a space pirate who could be trouble—or just the partner she needs. Living a desperate life in the Total Welfare Center, the orphan Rissa discovers she has won the lottery and takes a chance to shape her own destiny. After she escapes from Earth with the help of a space pirate who may be more trouble than she expected, she soon discovers that together they might have a chance to shape Earth’s destiny as well.
F. M. Busby
F. M. Busby and his wife, Elinor, lived in Seattle with their two cats—Jeoffrey, the young black and white panther, and Molly Dodd, veteran calico—until his death on February 17, 2005, at age eighty-three. Buz’s eighteen published novels include eight in the universe of Rissa Kerguelen, three in that of Cage a Man, and another three in the Slow Freight grouping. Solo books are All These Earths, The Breeds of Man, The Singularity Project, and Islands of Tomorrow. Of more than forty shorter works, three have appeared in best-of-year anthologies; twenty are gathered into his collection Getting Home. Growing up in the “Palouse country” of eastern Washington, Buz attended and graduated from WSU, studying physics and electrical engineering, which helped him keep his numbers straight. What with two vacations financed by the army, the graduating part took nine years, after which he moved to Seattle to engineer communications for the Alaska Comm System, get married, and settle down. When the ACS was sold in 1970, Busby opted for early retirement and began writing science fiction. In the army and later, he spent considerable time in Alaska, including a year in the Aleutians, and swore his tales of Amchitka weather were simple truth. His interests included aerospace, unusual gadgetry of most any kind, dogs, cats, and people, not necessarily in that order. His website is www.fmbusby.com.
