She has been embroiled in a cosmic rebellion and--with a lively band of outcasts and pirates--gone to war against a vicious empire. But in the wake of that battle, Lily show more and her crew are abandoned by the very force they fought to support. With nowhere else to go, they head toward the farthest reaches of space to find the worlds where humankind first began. But what awaits them when they get there? In this breathtaking finale, the value of liberty has no limit.The Price of Ransom is the final book of the Highroad trilogy, which begins with A Passage of Stars and Revolution's Shore. show lessTags

After commandeering a legendary spaceship, Lily Ransome and her crew of misfits set off to leave the Reft and to find the legendary planet Terra along the forgotten space routes. Once they get there, they will have to deal with a human culture considerably more pacific and rigid than their own.
The Price of Ransom, the last novel in The Highroad Trilogy, benefits from the splintered POVs allotted among the crew: while Lily and her precious Kyosti are still an uninspiring pair of protagonists, they wear considerably better when other characters share narrative duty. The Price of Ransom also benefits from a trio of bounty hunters who appear as supporting characters: Windsor and his "boys" are truly excellent. I would happily read a novel show more exclusively about them. show less
