MOURNER, the third book in the Harmony series, vividly explores how three very different cultures treat their dead when the body of Laud Gregor, Harmony's High Priest, goes missing between First Contact Café Space Station and the Harmony homeworld. Laud Gregor cannot be regarded as legally dead until he is officially buried--which means that Laudae Sissy, Harmony's High Priestess, cannot institute the reforms her culture desperately needs until a new High Priest is named. Suspects abound, from the repulsive Dragons, who show up to claim the space station as lost property, to the secretive avian Maril, to disaffected power brokers closer to home. It doesn't help that Jake Devlin, commander of the station, finds himself haunted by the impatient Laud while he navigates all these new threats and trying to solve the mystery--and to figure out how he and Sissy can possibly surmount the cultural differences that obstruct their growing love. Add in Jake's former boss, the evasive spymaster Pammy, and tension escalates, especially when the body seems to keep moving. Can Harmony find peace? Will there ever be a happy ending for Sissy and Jake? 500 $3 XCOL copy #1: $a Materials removed from MsC1221 (Phyllis Irene Radford papers). $5 IaU 563 $3 XCOL copy #1: $a Publisher's illustrated paper binding. $5 IaU 650 0 $a Women priests $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Space warfare $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Space colonies $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Extraterrestrial beings $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Science fiction. 650 6 $a Guerre spatiale $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 650 6 $a Colonies spatiales $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 650 6 $a Extraterrestres $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 650 7 $a Extraterrestrial beings. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01742248 650 7 $a Science fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01108566 650 7 $a Space colonies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01127662 650 7 $a Space warfare. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01128112 650 7 $a Women priests. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01178391 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 700 1 $a Bohnhoff, Maya Kaathryn, $e cover. 700 1 $a Radford, Irene, $e donor. $e donor. $5 IaU 800 1 $a Bentley, C.
