As they soar through emerald jungle canyons in search of their prize and the fabled Blood River, Lasadi is realizing this job has the potential to do more than net these five misfits a payday. It could turn them into a real crew. If the Liluri Mountains-and the crew's lingering secrets-don't devour them first.Blood River Blues is the second book in the Nanshe Chronicles, a series of fast-paced sci-fi capers full of lovable misfits, non-stop action, and just plain fun.
