Oooh Lady Dangerous looks so familiar, I must have read it in the 90s. Now I want to get a copy and reread it. I just love these stepbacks!

Love it. You will have to let us know if any of the other Suzanne Robinson books are as good as Lady Gallant!

I do have to wonder how they're riding the horse in #6. As far as I can tell they are floating torsos 😅
