But no sooner is utopia realized than the cycle of war and destruction begins anew.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Collected for the first time, here is the complete Under Jurisdiction body of work falling outside of Matthews' celebrated novels: long out-of-print short stories fleshing out details of the personal histories of favorite characters, including Joslire Curran and Security Chief Stildyne; substantial novellas-two published here for the first time ever-covering critical events in the life of the series, such as the devil's bargain between Andrej Koscuisko and Captain Lowden on the Ragnarok; and many more novelettes, stories, and vignettes from The Life and Hard Times of "Uncle" Andrej Koscuisko, who is Not a Nice Man. Praise for Susan R. Matthews: "A very satisfying entry in a very scary series!"-Janis Ian on Blood Enemies "Starting with An Exchange of Hostages, I devoured Susan R. Matthews 'Koscuisko' novels-all six of them-when they first appeared. Books with this much courage, clarity, and empathy are rare. The Under Jurisdiction series is a remarkable and unprecedented accomplishment."-Stephen R. Donaldson, New York Times best-selling author of the Thomas Covenant series. "[Matthews] brilliantly uses science fiction's freedom of creation to make a world in which she can explore deep moral conflicts."-Denver Post ". . . has a dark energy . . . an extremely compelling read."-New York Review of Science Fiction "A chilling and engaging novel of false accusation and the power of personal responsibility."-Booklist on Angel of Drestruction "A tightly woven space opera full of grand heroic gestures and characters strong enough to sustain all the action."-Booklist on The Devil and Deep Space.
