THRESHOLD — Lorraine Bartlett

One crash landing. One strange planet. And the chauvinists who inhabit it.

When her interplanetary shuttle encounters a spatial rift and crash lands on god-forsaken Telenia, the clever and adventurous Amanda Sheldon is held captive by Prince Paxdon. Forcing her to learn their language, Paxdon wants nothing more than to exploit her knowledge, advancing Telenia's technological needs and to use it against his enemies.

Stifled by the male-dominated society and their condescending viewpoints, Amanda sets out to prove that women should be heard and honored--not dismissed. Although she possesses the knowledge they need to usurp a sinister enemy and save countless innocent lives, the Telenians refuse to accept her intelligence and leadership. Will Amanda find a way to convince a planet of chauvinistic men to cross the threshold and put their trust in a woman?
