- The Chronicles of Nuala Series by Katharine Eliska Kimbriel
Her relationship with Braan, which is quite realistic and goes in fits and starts just like life , helps illuminate just how different this world is -- but just how much the same the human condition is, no matter what century we might be living in. Mind you, the other subplots dealing with Moran, who marries Roe and starts a family with her, and Lyte, who must decide whether or not to hope to rejoin the Axis after Nuala gets cut off by war or help the Nualans instead, are also extremely interesting and added to the excellent reading experience overall.
While not quite as good as "Fires of Nuala" which is the best book I've read in , bar none , this is still easily a five-star novel that should be put on the "keeper" shelf of every single science fiction fan. Excellent and rousing, "Fire Sanctuary" does not disappoint. Every SF fan out there should read this novel. Every single last one. Five stars, highly recommended. I received this book from Book View Cafe for the purposes of an honest review, which I have just given you.

In Fire Sanctuary , Lyte is told that any metal he wants protected can be plated or boxed to protect it. The scientists who landed on Nuala figured out the problem -- but they figured it out too late. The irradiated microbes, with their accelerated metabolism, devour the iron and other metals found in the ships -- it's like caviar to them. They barely have to work for it!
They attacked anything that contained the metal they wanted to get to, although some things did not interest them plastics, for example and some they got to only if it was damaged like a ceramic glazed with metallic glaze might be a weak point. We have bacteria like this in antarctica and deep beneath the oceans the Titanic is being devoured by one of these types of fellows.
Once the Nualans had refined metals back "doped" to make it taste nasty to these microbes they worked on higher processes that would get them back into space. They also worked on being as genetically close to human as possible. It took about 1, years to rebuild civilization to a point they could get off Nuala with trade goals in mind. They knew that they would meet prejudice from their genetic damage -- and they knew they were sitting in the middle of one of the most valuable solar systems imaginable.
Precious metals are not just forms of currency or jewelry -- they are malleable to an extreme, and do not react to other elements as easily as say iron does. Their doped ships are worth almost as much as their trinium, at first, because the Nualans have a finite resource, and need to protect it.

So they used fear -- and pictures of collapsing ships and sinishur to back up that fear. At first, all they had to do was damage a pirate's ship enough so it could not just lift and leave. The planet took care of the rest. Later, they could dump the microbe directly on a ship, knowing it would do its job. Slowly, the Nualans created ways to protect from claim jumpers.

Hiring the Cied to do this was just one protection. All Nualans benefit, directly or indirectly, from the metal wealth -- by the time of Hidden Fires , the Atare clan is welcoming educated people to their territories -- and everybody gets cheap utilities, at the least, from that metal wealth. So people have incentive to keep their mouths shut. Eventually, the secret is no longer a secret. By Fire Sanctuary , the Nualans have created a grid of missles that can take out invaders.

By Fire Sanctuary , off-worlders know about the microbe. They can even pay the price to get a ship plated so they can trade easily with Nuala -- or buy a ship built there. It's a real problem, but a managable one. I've got this cute little microbe drawn by a friend, who claimed they also liked dirty socks. Since we were not talking about my socks, I said: Questions, I get Questions.
A Few Facts and Explanations. So -- You disappeared. Will there be any more tales of Alfreda? Will there me any more Nuala books? What are you working on right now? When are you going to update your web design?
Is there an order for The Chronicles of Nuala? Compiling a lot of notes on a big fantasy project. Adult, multi-volume -- it will get written. Another Homerun for Kimbriel! Glad to have the third in the series for the first two were outstanding. Love being apart of her imaginative world. See all 19 reviews. Most recent customer reviews.
