The Annotated Laj Khai

Discover odd byways and folklore of distant planets with this collection of armchair-traveler's tales from the Sa'adani Empire. The Empire is the science fiction setting created by Deborah Teramis Christian; it is backdrop to her novels Mainline, Splintegrate, and other works, as well as being a fully developed role-playing game setting. Tales in this novella-length collection come from the journals of traveler Laj Khai, famous for his observant anecdotes and recording of folktales heard when he toured the Courzava Circuit.

This is the first book in the Sa'adani Tales series, a collection of travel adventures, folklore, cultural observations and anecdotes from the Sa'adani Empire. Note that this is NOT "a collection of science fiction stories," but rather, a collection of folk stories from a science fictional setting--a subtle but important difference.

Fans of Christian's work will enjoy the added depth this brings to her settings. Those who like odd byways of other worlds and those seeking armchair adventure will appreciate this unusual way to visit a galaxy far, far away.
