Light Raid: Connie Willis & Cynthia Felice *SIGNED*

*SIGNED* Hardcover first editon in good condition. Signed by Connie Willis. Blazing action. High-tech devastation. Explosive intrigue. The ultimate future war has begun. The world as we know it has changed considerably. A civil war is raging between the eastern half of North American and the west. The latest methods of destruction are frightening, brutal, inescapable. They are called light raids—massive laser-beam assaults that are as effective as they are merciless. Seventeen-year-old Hellene Ariadne, daughter of a prominent Western scientist, has been evacuated to Victoria for her protection. But when letters from her parents suddenly stop, followed by a supposedly innocent lunch with a family friend, Ariadne quickly begins to suspect that things will never be the same. The unexpected happens in an instant and Ariadne is forced to leave the safety of the North and return to her home in Denver Springs. There she finds her house in ruins, the city devastated by a savage light raid. Ariadne assumes that her parents are dead. But the truth is much worse. Her mother is in prison, accused of sabotage and treason, and her father is left helpless, an emotional cripple. It is up to Ariadne to clear her mother’s name. But, as she plunges deeper and deeper into a fatal web of intrigue and deception, she discovers there are truths far more shocking than war, more devastating than the fiercest light raids and she is alone with a secret she must protect at all costs, even if it means placing her life – and her heart – in the hands of Joss, the so-called and compelling equerry to the prince. Fast-paced, exciting and unforgettable, Light Raid is an electrifying achievement for authors Connie Will and Cynthia Felice. No returns or refunds on this item.
