The Kashallan Legacy. Tales of the Kashallans, #10

Their diplomatic mission is ending, and the Kashallan Alliance isn't finding their journey home an easy one. With civilians in tow and a collegium to support, what will be the new roles on this world for humans and their families among Timorna's many races? Now even the khutani have conflicts and rivalry. As Philip and his symbiote recover slowly from their captivity, they have a startling meeting with the ancestral beings who shaped many lives when working for recovery on this poisoned planet.
There is much to hope for in The Kashallan Legacy, even when lives are not what was expected. The Kashallan Legacy is the tenth and final book in the series Tales of the Kashallans, by celebrated author Celu Amberstone. Drawing on her Indigenous and Celtic heritage, Amberstone writes powerful fiction subtly different from the usual science fiction or fantasy adventures. For fans of the 'Hundred Worlds' approach used in Star Trek and in Golden Age magazines, there are diverse settings and cultures along the journey taken by these human and alien characters. "This is space opera writ large combined with both fantasy and hard SF...
It's obvious the Tales of the Kashallans constitute a genuine epic written with such skill that you will be enthralled however long the series lasts."This is a richly detailed fantasy/space opera that is positively addictive. Celu Amberstone has the knack of weaving elaboration and action into a vivid tapestry of action and character. Well rounded, deftly written, and a joy to read. Highly recommended.
Consider it a useful antidote to mundane life these days... a genuine pleasure you owe yourself."-R. Graeme Cameron for Amazing Stories. "Amberstone's world-building puts together brave new peoples and gritty adventures, evoking strong responses in the reader."- author Paula Johanson
