The Ship Who Saved the Worlds
Omnibus edition.
Two complete novels in one huge volume: The Ship Who Won: Like Helva,
the Ship Who Sang, Carialle was born severely physically disadvantaged;
and like Helva, Carialle decided she would strap on a spaceship. Her
brawn is a guy named Keff. Searching the galaxy for intelligent beings,
they found fuzzy little aliens, polite and eager to please.
Unfortunately, they were slaves to a race of sorcerers, who possess
powers of frightening potency, and who were neither polite nor the least bit eager to please.
The Ship Errant: Carialle and Keff had
succeeded in liberating the ''globe-frogs'' from their servitude to
dictatorial humans, but now they must return them from whence they came. And to get there, they must transit a sector where Carialle was stopped and boarded, experiencing a trauma so intense it nearly destroyed her
mind. And it's beginning to look as if the beings who caused this are
the very globe-frogs they have just made friends with...
