520    A space outlaw must rescue the remnants of an ancient 
       alien race—before her galaxy explodes—in the conclusion to
       an action-packed science fiction trilogy. An unrepentant 
       scoundrel and collector of priceless alien artifacts and 
       treasures—like a tomb raider Lara Croft with issues and a 
       spaceship, or a female Indiana Jones with a looser moral 
       code—the inimitable Skeen makes her final appearance in a 
       thrilling galaxy-hopping adventure that blends science 
       fiction and quest fantasy in the finest Andre Norton 
       tradition, inserting a healthy dose of Terry Pratchett 
       Discworld wackiness for good measure. After stumbling 
       through a one-way dimensional gate constructed eons 
       earlier by the enigmatic and nearly extinct Ykx, Skeen has
       finally found her way off Mistommerk. Despite numerous 
       trials and great turmoil, Skeen is at long last free, with
       a ship and crew that includes her new friends, 
       shapeshifter Timka and Ykx keyholder Lipitero. But freedom
       always has a price, and Skeen must pay for her 
       deliverance. She’ll have to make her way through a 
       treacherous galaxy to locate the planet Rallen—which may 
       or may not actually exist—gather up any remaining Ykx she 
       happens to find there, and bring them back to Mistommerk 
       before the gate closes permanently. Their journey is about
       to take Skeen and her crewmates through some of the 
       nastiest corners of a particularly nasty galaxy and 
       towards an inevitable confrontation with the war vessels 
       of a powerful and distinctly unfriendly Empire. But the 
       biggest threat of all is the solar system itself: Its sun 
       is about to go supernova, which could result in a very 
       explosive finale indeed for Skeen and her space-going 
       misadventures. With her exciting, ingenious, and wildly 
       entertaining Skeen’s Search, author Jo Clayton offers a 
       fitting and supremely satisfying climax to her thrilling 
       outer space saga, as one of the most uniquely endearing 
       rogues in the history of speculative fiction takes her 
       final bow with a grand flourish.
