For Bertie, love could be fatal.
Stationmaster and exiled aristocrat Albert St. John Rembrandt—Bertie to his friends—is in love with a provincial ruler he’s always believed he can’t have. Finding out the hard way that some Tolari are as poisonous as their planet is only the beginning of his troubles.
A ship has gone missing. His station is in crisis. Bertie must manage the disaster while still desperately ill, but the only way to recover his health and be with the man he loves is to accept the genetic modification they call the Jorann’s blessing.
And no Rembrandt can take a gen mod and remain a Rembrandt.
Rembrandt’s Station is the fifth book in the Tale of Tolari Space science fiction series. If you like planetary adventure and heart-warming romance, you’ll love Christie Meierz’ tales of the reclusive Tolari.
Engaging, thoughtful, and rich in mythology, author Christie Meierz’s Rembrandt’s Station is a must-read sci-fi epic. The perfect sequel and next installment in this space opera franchise, the evolution of Bertie in particular was a great storytelling device, allowing the reader to experience the man he was and everything in his upbringing melt away into the man he was meant to be. The love that the character experiences in this future made this one compelling story that readers will not be able to put down. – Anthony Avina
Though Bertie was exiled from his neo-Regency culture and disowned by his family, he can’t quite shake the restrictions of his aristocratic upbringing or see the damage it did to his self-worth. For his part, the Monral believes that Bertie does not reciprocate and is prepared to pine for an unrequited love. Of course, this is a space opera, so once they get past their hang-ups, the realities of biological differences in their species leaves Bertie with some difficult choices… Rembrandt’s Station was my first Christie Meierz story, but I’m sincerely looking forward to exploring her complete backlist and watching for future books. – Liminal Fiction
An immersive, layered, and extensively developed space opera… There is plenty of Dune-style space diplomacy—rival houses, trade disputes, and so on—to please diehard SF/fantasy fans, but beneath this veneer, the author tells a simple story of exile, the meaning of home, and the creation of a chosen family. – Kirkus Reviews
