About the Book
Peleng is a planet ripe
for the plucking, and Drake Maijstral is an Allowed Burglar rated in the Top Ten by the Imperial Sporting Commission. But what should be a
simple case of breaking-and-plundering turns into an intergalactic
crisis when Maijstral steals something so rare, so valuable, so utterly
desirable, that everyone wants it — everyone including well-armed
Imperial spies, gun-toting human militias, a homicidal maniac with a
very large sword, and a fanatical countess with a really, really nasty
croquet habit.
The Crown Jewels, by award-winning author Walter Jon Williams, is sophisticated science fiction comedy at its best.
