Praise forThe Temple Dancer: "The Temple Dancersweeps the reader into an age of passion and danger, romance, chivalry, and high adventure - an age when a bandit could defy an emperor and a dancing girl change the course of history. Set against the rich backdrop of Moghul India,The Temple Dancer'scombination of history, intrigue, and forbidden love should appeal to anyone who loves M.M. Kaye'sThe Far PavilionsandShadow of the Moon- in fact, it should appeal to anyone who loves a story that will totally intrigue them." --India Edghill, author ofQueenmakerandWisdom's Daughter "The Temple Danceris an ocean of a story, filled with adventure, passion and heartbreak.It's compulsively readable and everything you want in a novel." --Michael Swanwick, author ofBones of the Earth "What an adventure! Two women, utterly different in culture and outlook, travel across seventeenth century India on elephant back and discover, in the face of betrayal, that they have a great deal more in common than they ever suspected. Beautifully researched, this novel has it all: heroes adept with sword and pistol, bold and independent heroines, corrupt rulers, treacherous eunuchs, slippery merchants, and bloodthirsty banditti. The author stirs them all together with a handsome dose of conspiracy, mysticism, and sensuality to create a splendid entertainment in the grand style. --Karleen Koen, author of author ofThrough a Glass DarklyandDark Angels "The Temple Danceris a lush, loopy, multicultural epic set in 17th century India, like the cockeyed marriage of a Bollywood musical and an Errol Flynn/Olivia de Havilland movie, well-researched, playfully written, and highly entertaining." --Chris Bram, author ofGods and MonstersandLives of the Circus Animals "The Temple Danceris what reading is all about. This book upholds true literature, which is -- the beauty of language. There is a wonderful world here full of enchantment and nourishment." --Daniel Ladinsky, author ofThe GiftandI Heard God Laughing "Speed conducts a dazzling tour of seventeenth century India. Lavish and lush…mesmerizing…Chock-full of sex, suspense, and peril, this high-voltage adventure yarn will rapidly transport willing readers to vanished time and place. [It] will leave readers craving more."--Booklist "A melange of creatively imagined characters populates Speed's first novel, an entertaining historical saga that takes place in 17th-century India. The fast-paced story benefits from intriguing characters and situations twisted just enough to keep them on the safe side of unbelievable... it's driven by a contagious enthusiasm for the people and places encountered throughout the journey... an enjoyable adventure that still has respect for its characters."--Publishers Weekly, Praise for The Temple Dancer : "The Temple Dancer sweeps the reader into an age of passion and danger, romance, chivalry, and high adventure - an age when a bandit could defy an emperor and a dancing girl change the course of history.
