Kurzbeschreibung
Freebooter at heart, spacer by trade, Beka Rosselin-Metadi doesn't want to hear about how her father whose rugged general ship held back the Mageworlds -- or her highborn mother whose leadership has held the galaxy together since. Beka pilots spacecraft -- as far from her famous family as possible.
Then Beka's mother is assassinated on the Senate floor, and her father offers her the title to Warhammer, prize ship from his own freebooting youth -- if she agrees to deliver the assassins to him "off the books."
Looking for assassins has a tendency to make assassins look for you. In doing so, Beka's arranged her own very public death and adopted a new identity; now all she has to do is leave a trail of kidnappings and corpses across five star systems, and blow the roof off the strongest private fortress in the galaxy.
Synopsis
The daughter of an assassinated politician finds herself in the thick of a galactic intrigue that threatens to shatter a 30-year period of peace after centuries of conflict. She'll get used to the intrigue but will the galaxy get used to her?

This book was scheduled as one of my SF book club's discussion books. I wasn't completely enthused about it since I had read Weber's Honor Harrington series (which I enjoyed immensely!) and felt sure that it would be a knock-off. Boy was I wrong!
This book has fine characterization, interesting plotlines, and a universe that kept me turning the pages all night.
While I couldn't stop at this first book (Starpilot's Grave and By Honor Betray'd are books 2+3), this book could be read as a stand-alone for those who aren't prepared to dive into a multi-book series.
As mentioned in several of the other reviews, this book is reminiscent of the Star Wars universe with some science fiction elements and a bit of the supernatural.
What appealed most, however, was that the authors built a sense of history into their universe so that there is a feeling that the crises recounted here are the result of real historical events. In addition, the reader does not have an omniscient view of the action, because many of the characters do not have a complete understanding. This made the plot more realistic.
This is definitely a book to put on the "re-read" shelf.

Great use of previously invented Sci Fi paraphenalia, lots of action, would love to see a good movie made out of it.

I greatly enjoyed reading "Price of the Stars" i found it to be a great combination of magic and technology. i think i can best compare it to the STAR WARS trilogy, one of my all-time favorite stories. the fast-paced adventure and realistic, original characters made for a great reading experience. i couldnt put the book down, the first or second time. and, i think the best part was the fact that the protaganist was a female. :) great job all around. i look forward to reading the rest of the Mageworlds books.

Blaster-toting blond has brains, kicks ass!
On the surface, The Price of the Stars kicks off a traditional space opera series. Lots and lots of spaceships and blasters, and it's damn good fun too. Lesen Sie weiter...
