With Stars Underfoot (Adventures In The Liaden Universe®) - Plot & Excerpts
Mil Ton Intassi caught the first hint of it as he strolled through his early-morning garden—a bare flutter of warmth along the chill edge of mountain air, no more than that. Nonetheless, he sighed as he walked, and tucked his hands into the sleeves of his jacket. At the end of the garden, he paused, looking out across the toothy horizon, dyed orange by the rising sun. Mist boiled up from the valley below him, making the trees into wraiths, obscuring the road and the airport entirely. Spring, he thought again. He had come here in the spring, retreating to the house he had built, to the constancy of the mountains. Turning his back on the roiling fog, he strolled down the pale stone path, passing between banked rows of flowers. At the center of the garden, the path forked—the left fork became a pleasant meander through the lower gardens, into the perimeter wood. It was cunning, with many delightful vistas, grassy knolls, and shady groves perfect for tête-à-têtes.
