Produktbeschreibung

Regnar, a young man living on Azure (formerly the Earth) is shocked to be told that he is a son of the emperor of the Imperium, the government of all of the inhabited planets, and that he is expected to go to its capital, The Orb, to be acknowledged by the emperor as a legitimate son, along with nearly one hundred and fifty other menhis half-brothers. Each is given a task, some activity that will benefit a planet other than his own. While they wait for their assignments, the princes occupy themselves, as each has the inclination to do. The Emperor uses what he learns from observing them as an additional factor, along with the handling of the task, to help him decide which shall be chosen as Crown Prince to become emperor when the current man passes away. Regnars Task involves physical suffering as he prepares for it and unimagined (to him) adventure in an environment completely different from that of his own. He is required to forgo any relationships with his half-brothers and friends, and with the girl he admires, until he has finished it. Even then, will he be thought worthy to be Crown Prince? A surprise ending will leave the reader wanting more!

Autorenporträt

Although her BA degree from USC (University of Southern California) (Phi Beta Kappa) was in International Relations, Margie's working years mostly were involved with various aspects of publications. A chance apprenticeship helping to create a short book on the physics of super-sonic speed convinced her that technical writing was the challenging and useful career for her. As an employee of a company that supplied writers and editors as civilian workers for The U.S. Navy, The Air Force, and NASA, she moved from place to place writing or editing informational booklets on the exciting new equipment being developed for space ventures. Later, in order to provide a more stable life for her growing daughters, she took a job creating 'how-to' pamphlets for musical equipment. While making a living and supporting her two daughters she had little time for her personal writing, but now and then put down some ideas for fiction, looking forward to a time when she could create books that did not tell someone how to do something but that people would read for the pleasure they gave them. Now, here is Regnar's Task, not the first novel she has completed but one that she feels will give the reader such pleasure that he will not want to be interrupted while he is reading it.
