I was maybe 19 or 20 years old and pretty excited to meet her. I met Kathy at the Mount Hermon Christian Writer’s Conference and got to chat with her a bit about her Star Wars novel (only Truce back then) and Princess Leia’s difficulty forgiving her father. Her novel Shivering World (by far the best, but impossible to find in the original version now) was nominated for the Nebula Award. Before Truce she had published a few young adult sci-fi novels with Bantam Spectra, particularly her first and second books, Firebird and Fusion Fire. Kathy Tyers is better known for her two Star Wars novels, Truce at Bakura (one of my favorites) and Balance Point(I haven’t read that one). I will confess that I prefer it to the covers of the rewrites, those from the 90s as well as the new Annotated Firebird. The 1980s cover for the first Firebird book.
