THE CHRONICLES OF SIRKARA by Laura Resnick
This series is also called THE SILERIAN TRILOGY and IN FIRE FORGED.
I enjoy running across books that haven’t received much attention. I also enjoy running across books that I enjoy a lot more than I expected to.

As in all anthologies, some of the stories are to my taste, some aren’t, and there is probably something for everyone.
