Description

Haber, Karen. WOMAN WITHOUT A SHADOW. NY: DAW Books, 1995. 1st ed.

SF novel by Robert Silverberg’s wife.

“The Mindstones were the only reason anyone lived on – or more accurately, in – the planet Styx. An uninhabitable ice world, Styx only survived as an underground mining colony because of the discovery of the beautiful jewel called Cyrilite, a crystalline stone with unique, mind-altering properties. But to Kayla John Reed, Styx was the only home she’d ever known until her parents were killed in a tragic mining accident. Claiming her father’s Guild seat, the extraordinarily gifted young empath was forced to flee the planet when she tangled with the Kellers, the wealthiest and most important psi family in the colony. (With a) bounty on her head, Kayla found an unexpected haven aboard the ‘Falstaff’, a ‘merchant’ spaceship that stretched the limits of legal shipping beyond the breaking point.”
