Missions is the second book in the Haadri cycle written by Joules Taylor and the first edition — straight to paperback — has been published by Heartsown in 2009.
Unlike Haadri: Prime Contact, which is a long novel (448 pages), Missions is a slim volume (112 pages) showcasing a collection of short stories following the adventures of Kazestrel and Triskayen — the exotic 'diplomatic team' — on their voyage through the Haadri galaxy.
A second edition of Prime Contact is due to be published towards the end of 2009 — join our Mailing List to be among the first to hear as details are announced.
Joules Taylor has built up a strong fan base of enthusiasts, and is renowned for her vivid portrayal of the wide variety of alien species that populate her tales. The aliens are described with a warmth and humanity that often throws the behaviour of the human characters into stark relief.
Heart, the third book in the Haadri cycle, is due to be published by Heartsown in 2010.
