Part of Series
Unbeknownst to the galaxy, an ancient race has enslaved an entire world for countless millennia. Now a single thrall has managed to escape and it's up to a teenage girl to help him free his people. But Angela “Gel” Colson only appears to be Human teen. She’s actually a mutant variant from a race of teleporting aliens and she's out to prove herself, but must do so without revealing her powers. Along the way she'll have to acquire a moon, win over a reptilian alien who threatens the future of the enslaved people she's trying to save, criss-cross the galaxy via ancient technology hidden in the soup atmospheres of numerous gas giants, and quite possibly upset the economic stability of a region of space. Ace of Thralls is the third book in the Freelance Courier series of Angela (Gel) Colson, a young entrepreneur with a knack for getting embroiled in galactic-scale issues and far flung adventures.

Lawrence M. Schoen holds a Ph.D. in cognitive psychology, is a past Astounding, Hugo, and Nebula, nominee, twice won the Cóyotl award for best novel, founded the Klingon Language Institute, and occasionally does work as a hypnotherapist specializing in authors’ issues. He is a chimeric cancer survivor. His science fiction includes many light and humorous adventures of a space-faring stage hypnotist and his alien animal companion. Other works take a very different tone, exploring aspects of determinism and free will, generally redefining the continua between life and death. Sometimes he blurs the funny and the serious. Lawrence lives near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania with his wife and their dog.
