Expeditions, Estimation, and Other Dangerous Pastimes

WC: 53,000



Ondry and Liam have finally earned the rank to conduct high-level trades with the Imshee for the ability to genetically lengthen the lifespan of Liam and Zach Mora. Ondry is annoyed by Mora and confused and alarmed by the Grandmother’s decision to allow Mora to bring his childhood predator with him on the ship. However, as the saying goes, a Grandmother does not take a step in any direction without seeing three sources of profit.

This time the profit could be a happily ever after for Ondry and Liam. However, as Ondry has already learned, when inter-species communication is involved, nothing is simple. Individuals can only guess at what another might be thinking, and when the other party is an alien species with different social and biological influences, those assumptions are estimations at best and disastrously wrong at worst.

Wait it’s over????

There will be an epilogue or two that I’m working on, but the big problem—getting the Imshee to give the cure for old age—has been solved. So we’ll see the results of the surgery and then some time stamp stories.

Sue Dyke

Can the story only be read on patron not transferred to kindle?

Lyn Gala

Unfortunately, the platform doesn’t allow formatting for other devices. Sorry.

Alison Mann

I love the fact that the Imshee and Cy are so wary of humans. They are obviously wary of Rownt because of their reaction to battles, and I'd love to know what it is exactly that has them worried about humans (although I agree there's a lot to worry about there) considering the Cy encountered them so long ago

Lyn Gala

The Cy are arrogant enough that they weren’t scared of humans as much as they considered humans a plague that they did not want spreading into the rest of the universe. Now the Imshee are freaked out. Completely. We’ll see more about why they’re freaked when an Imshee meets Maya.

I love this book as much as I love the whole serie! I am so happy that Liam got his DNA modification, and that Ondry is the smallest Tuk-ranked ever, I had a good laught about that!!!

I decided to read all the older Claimings books again first and now I just finished Expeditions and I love it so much and I'm so happy that I got another Claimings book!!! Thanks a lot for giving us a chance to read more stories about Ondry and Liam

Lyn Gala

I'm so glad you enjoyed the story. I"m so grateful that the patrons and this platform have allowed the story to continue.

Elena

Thank you so much for writing this last book and giving us the chance to say goodbye properly to Ondry and Liam. it would have been so sad to think of Ondry surviving his beloved palteia and having centuries to live alone. They're one of my most favorite couples and I loved spending more time with them, thank you. <3

Lyn Gala

You are very welcome. I love these two and they will always have a special place in my heart. But their story wasn't finished until Ondry could figure out a way to make sure Liam wouldn't die without having, in Rownt terms, a reasonable life span

Elizabeth Osborn

I have adored Ondry and Liam since I first met them. thanks.

GundamGirl

I need a story with Ondry, Liam and a wee egg. Please, please, please.

Is there a place that sells this book where I can buy a downloadable pdf format that isn’t locked to Nook, iBook, and so on? I bought the PDF version for the others in the series and I would like to be able to continue saving them in the same folder.
