Based on the true life exploits of a World War II pilot flying the dangerous route over the Himalayas, the book brings to light a little known facet of World War II. "Flying the Hump" was the name given by American pilots to flying over the treacherous air currents of the Himalayas during World War II. It was an extremely dangerous but necessary route American pilots traveled to bring vital material to Chinese troops in China, and American, and other Allied forces in the Pacific. The material transported, critical to the Allied war effort in the early days enabled the Allies to persist while the industrial might of the United States was retooling.--Publisher.

#5 from Baen in the award-winning Liaden Universe® saga. Space ships, action, adventure¾all tied together with a strong dollop of romance and intrigue. First Class courier pilot Theo Waitley was already known as a nexus of violence¾and then she inherited the precarious captaincy of a mysterious self-aware ship. Now she has a trade route to run for Clan Korval while she convinces the near mythic ghost ship Bechimo¾and herself¾that she wants to commit herself as the human side to their immensely powerful symbiosis. While her former lover battles a nano-virus thats eating him alive, Theo is challenged to rescue hundreds of stranded pilots and crewmen from an explosive situation in near orbit around a suddenly hostile planet. Lovers, enemies, an ex-roomie, and a jealous spaceship are all in peril as Theo wields power that no one in the universe is sure of, especially her. At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).
