Full Description
Collected for the first time, here is the complete Under Jurisdiction body of work falling outside of Matthews' celebrated novels: long out-of-print short stories fleshing out details of the personal histories of favorite characters, including Joslire Curran and Security Chief Stildyne; substantial novellas—two published here for the first time ever—covering critical events in the life of the series, such as the devil's bargain between Andrej Koscuisko and Captain Lowden on the Ragnarok; and many more novelettes, stories, and vignettes from The Life and Hard Times of "Uncle" Andrej Koscuisko, who is Not a Nice Man.
Praise for Susan R. Matthews:
"A very satisfying entry in a very scary series!"—Janis Ian on Blood Enemies
"Starting with An Exchange of Hostages, I devoured Susan R. Matthews 'Koscuisko' novels—all six of them—when they first appeared. Books with this much courage, clarity, and empathy are rare. The Under Jurisdiction series is a remarkable and unprecedented accomplishment."—Stephen R. Donaldson, New York Times best-selling author of the Thomas Covenant series.
"[Matthews] brilliantly uses science fiction's freedom of creation to make a world in which she can explore deep moral conflicts."—Denver Post
". . . has a dark energy . . . an extremely compelling read."—New York Review of Science Fiction
"A chilling and engaging novel of false accusation and the power of personal responsibility."—Booklist on Angel of Drestruction
"A tightly woven space opera full of grand heroic gestures and characters strong enough to sustain all the action."—Booklist on The Devil and Deep Space
