Description As Books Dream Dancer (Kerrion Empire #1)
The universe called.She answered.
Everything you've seen or read till now took you only to the brink . . .
Neither pure fantasy, nor straight science fiction, nor earthbound dynastic saga, Dream Dancer is a stunning amalgam of all three. It is a family saga with the epic appeal of Dune and the action and excitement of Star Wars. It is a saga of love, power and treachery that will appeal to men and women equally; full of action, compulsively readable and quite unlike anything being published in the realms of fantasy today.
The heroine, Shebat, is a remarkable girl from Earth. She is brought to the vast empire of the Kerrion family by a renegade son; named as its future ruler on a whim of his autocratic father; abducted to the slums where the Kerrions' slaves drug themselves with powerful mystical sorcery; and finally rescued to take part in a great rebellion. She falls in love with one brother but marries another and becomes more Kerrion than some born to the name. A magical seductress of men, passionate in her lust for power, Shebat moves among those who control the destinies of millions, for whom treachery and betrayal are as easy as murder.
Set in the timeless future on a primitive, savage Earth and on the sophisticated habitats of deep space, Dream Dancer is the first volume of a three-part saga.

As a 1960s child, I grew up reading the classics. Quirkily enough, I was also an avid science fiction fan from an early age, devouring what the library had to offer from the likes of Asimov, H.G. Wells, Jules Verne, Clarke, Heinlein . . . to name just a few.That love of all things profound continued as sci-fi broached the boundaries of the various TV series on offer, and later, the many cinematic delights that stretched the imagination.So, when I come across an Authors Cut version of a storyEpic, mysterious, intriguing, and fun.
Dream Dancer is a wonderful mix of fantasy, science fiction, and most epic of sagas with a strong feel of historical fiction thrown in. I couldn't get enough of this series!Strong character of both sexes, action non-stop, twists and turns on the background of most authentically recreated or newly created world that was a pleasure to get acquitted with, this story won't leave the reader indifferent. Prepare to read deep into the nights, if not to finish each book of the series in one sitting!
I must have tried to read this when I was a kid. The cover is very familiar -- and eyecatching to teenage boys. It's a woman floating in space, wearing a dress that seems to be made of a length of gauze, a piece of string, and a pigeon. There are also some more-phallic-than-usual starships....I wonder if the cover was painted as a nude in space (a scene from the book!) and then covered over with the dress (also from the book! but a different scene) for publication. Hm. No, the coronet doesn't
This book is a tad like being on acid but for some reason it hooked me. I started reading at my mom's house because I had forgotten my own book. I like the setting--meaning the actual setting and the the what makes it scifi/fantasy (i.e., the magic used, etc). It would not get more than 3 stars from me however because it has very little character development. Things kind of jump around haphazardly with not enough explanation of why the characters are doing what. But it has intrigued me enough
This epic saga hooked me on page one. It's a great mix of sci-fi and fantasy.
