Eklan

Eklan was an elder male Sa-khui and Warrek's father. He died during the cave in during Barbarian's Taming.

## History

Eklan's mate and daughter died during the khui sickness. He took their deaths extremely hard. This leads Warrek to dislike the idea of mating, as it offered up too much of oneself to the possibility of pain.

After the sickness, he helped raise Harrec.

During Barbarian's Taming, he died in the cave in.
Corsair Audiobooks

The Corsair series is currently being published as audiobooks by Tantor Media. The main series is narrated by Hollie Jackson, who reads the sections written from female points of view, and Mason Llyod, who narrates male points of view. The Corsair series have the same narrators as the Ice Planet Barbarians Audiobooks.

All the current books have been released.
Corsair/Risdaverse Reading Order

Several of the main spin off series and standalones interconnect. The following is a suggested reading order for both series and all the standalones. While each of these series/standalone books can be read without having read the others first, this order is both chronological and introduces characters that are featured in later books. This timeline starts after Barbarian's Redemption in the Ice Planet Barbarians series, and begins with a character named dropped in that book.

The larger narrative of the corsair books, up through Corsair: Mathiras, eventually leads to the ending of Flor's Fiasco. While it is not necessary to read any of the books listed here to understand the end of that book, it does contextualize those events if you do read them first. The minimum required reading for understanding those events is reading the first four books of the Corsair Brothers series (numbered below as 13, 14, 16 and 19). The books marked with an \* tie directly into each other as part of the longer Corsair narrative, and will completely set up the events of Flor's Fiasco. This expanded recommended list better introduces and contextualizes each character and element as they are introduced in the following books.

*See: All Series Reading Order for the recommended reading order to understand where the events of this list fall within the Not-Hoth series chronology.*

While The Alien's Mail-Order Bride is thematically part of the Risdaverse, it, as of now, is completely standalone and can be read at any time. That said, chronologically feels most appropriate to read it anytime before Pretty Human, or even at the beginning of this list.

She spits in my face.

It’s love at first sight.

## Culture and History

Risda III has become a sanctuary planet for rescued and freed humans. Varrik parcels out farms to the freed humans, which has caused problems with the non human settlers trying to steal the plots of land by killing and/or marrying the human owners. This has lessened due to the establishment of a Custodial Office run by the Mesakkah military. The Custodians keep law and order and help the colonists. Though the position is considered a dead end one, for those soldiers with no family name or a bad reputation, the current patch of custodians enjoy their work and all have take human mates.

The planet is own and ruled by Varrik. He would likely be more hands off if not for the regular intervention by his human mate Milly. He also works with custodial office to make the planet safer, help the the humans integrate,

The farms are mostly run by machine, where they grow a number of cash crops and keep cattle, which they call "meat stock."

The humans on the planet have grown close and formed a new community. They work to share recipes, share books saved and scanned from earth or one they have written themselves, and have get togethers often.

Recently they have taken in a number of illegally clone humans, but only one of each person, to avoid drawing attention. The "duplicates" were sent elsewhere, including Not-Hoth.

## Description

The farmsteads are likely the same style of geo-pods used on Cassa II. These buildings are domed shaped, thermoregulated and made to withstand harsh weather conditions. They have panels, called 'portals', inside of doors leading to the outside.

Elders Cave

The elders cave is actually the sakh ship, *Se Kilahi*, that crashed landed on Not-Hoth many years ago. Modern sa-khui are descended from those survivors.

Currently, Harlow and Mardok are often working on the ship along with their families.

## History

Se Kilahi was a pleasure cruiser model Szentali 16. Its charter read "A voyage for those to commune with nature."

It landed on Not-Hoth at least around a thousand years prior to the series beginning, seeking shelter from a solar storm. Upon landing, the pilot suffered from congestive heart failure. There was no once else able to pilot. A distress signal was sent but it malfunctioned.

At the time of its crash landing the ship had one pilot and 162 passengers. A large percentage of the survivors died from the toxic atmosphere before the remainder took a khui.

The computer has a fault where it answers the number 287 to any question requiring a number answer. This results in the humans thinking that the sa-khui had only been living on the planet for that length of time until the events of Barbarian's Choice. In reality it had been at least a thousand years.

## Description

The ship is several floors tall and shaped like a oval. It had three dining locations, a large number of bedrooms, and a medical bay.

Most of the sa-khui limit their stay to the main entrance area, a large bay, about the size of a warehouse, with uneven floors and a fire pit. Some furniture, sitting stones, logs and pillows are also there, which were likely placed there by Harlow. Baskets are also set in one corner holding supplies, along with spears. The area is so large that ice still covers some of the walls.

There is also an access port for the computer, with a screen inside one of the walls and an input ipad-like device that can extend out. There was once a button at the base of the screen but it has broken off. The computer has the ability to make holographic projections.

There are buttons along the walls that often still flash and wires hang down from the ceiling. The floor is made of a light weight metal. A long hairline crack runs down from one of the walls to the middle of the floor.

There are several exits from the main bay. One door is propped open and leads to a messy and derelict hallway with shaky floors, crumpled walls and a partially collapsed ceiling. The other still has working automated doors. This area leads to the still used living quarters and its better maintained.

### Angie's Gladiator

Angie awoke on an alien plant and found herself pregnant with a child she can't remember conceiving. On top of that she was being followed by two red clones, Thrand and Vordis, constantly. Despite all of these she still felt lonely. One day she decided to reach out to one of her self appointed guard, Vordis.

After an early counter lead to miscommunications, Angie was left confused on how she managed to offend her one new friend.

Cashol roped both wayward brothers into learning to hunt in an attempt to occupy their extra energy. Vordis took to leaving Angie small gifts from his hunts on her pillow, like pretty rocks, flowers or carvings. One evening Angie's caught him leaving the gift, and the earlier misunderstanding was explained.

A few days later Vordis started sleeping with Angie to keep her warm. Not long after Angie went into labor, and Vordis stayed by her side. She named the baby Glory. She was horrified to realize that Vordis and Thrand were programmed to protect her, and though she doesn't blame him, it made her doubt the sincerity of their relationship. She told him he was free to be and be with whomever he wanted.

A few days after getting Glory a khui, Angie discovered from Hannah about that Vordis and the men of Icehome were having a hut building competition. Whats worse was that she is suppose to choose a winner between the two clone brothers, and take him as her mate. She was furious and thought Vordis doesn't see her as a person. She told both brothers to stay away from her.

A month later Vordis had thrown himself into hunting, and it was worrying Thrand. Thrand explained the hut situation to Angie, that he was the one that turned it into a competition angering Vordis, and that Vordis might leave for good. Angie realized that she misses Vordis and doesn't want to him to leave. They reconciled.

The next day Veronica told Angie that she is going to resonate soon and she is worried it won't be with Vordis. The worry was short lived as she quickly resonated to him.

### Later History

During the events of Steph's Outcast, Angie and Vordis elected to stay in Icehome Village instead of returning to Croatoan.

During the time jump between Steph's Outcast and Sam's Secret, Angie gave birth to Violet.
Ice Planet Barbarians (series)

A series of scifi alien romance books by Ruby Dixon all set on the planet Not-Hoth and starting members of the sa-khui tribe. Short stories are noted with the use of bullets. Novellas are noted with \*.

The title convention has changed as the series has gone on. Nearly all the main series books have barbarian in the title, and then a thematic word following. The first book is the exception to this rule. Later books add ownership to the barbarian of whatever the thematic word is. Novella titles stick within the general rule of referencing either barbarians or the Ice Planet. The short stories titles sometimes fit within the theme or they can vary wildly.

All the main series has been released on audiobook. None of the novellas or short stories have been released.
