Valor Confederation

The Canadian writer Tanya Huff, hailing from Nova Scotia in Halifax, has been writing for quite some time now, having produced a fairly extensive backlog of work, fulfilling a certain niche within the horror, fantasy and science-fiction industry, creating vast numbers of novels that have gone on to be appreciated on a worldwide scale. Clearly understanding and comprehending her specific genres, she writes from a distinctively gay perspective, thus lending the field a much needed LGBT angle, giving it greater diversity in the process. This has seen her work resonate with scores of readers worldwide, allowing her work to go on and be greatly appreciated by many, regardless of where her her audience are originally from or what their backgrounds are. With their really being something for everyone, she definitely manages to create worlds that are fully expansive, taking her many ideas and concepts forwards in the process, allowing her readers to find some sense of escapism within her words and work. Giving her characters greater levels of depth as well, she really manages to develop her character with a deeper level of insight too, setting them up for the reader, whilst taking them forwards in the process through a series of over-arcing narratives and story-lines. This also allows her readers to see something themselves in the characters, whilst also providing alternative characters that haven’t traditionally been represented within the genre. Writing with a great degree of wit and intelligence too, she also manages to ensure that her prose is both entertaining and compelling in equal measure too. Painting wide and vivid landscapes, she really manages to create vast worlds for both her characters and her readers to explore, letting them immerse themselves within the rich and imaginative tapestries that she weaves. Providing interesting messages through her work too, she is never afraid to speak her mind as well, always putting forwards her ideas directly and sincerely. One thing that she is especially known for is that of her fun and inventive series, many of which have been running for a long time now. A perfect example of this is that of her much loved ‘Valor Confederation’ series, which is a franchise set firmly within the space opera mold, really having fun with the genre and format. Following the leading protagonist of Torin Kerr, it sees her as she progresses through her career as a female staff sergeant, fighting all across the galaxy. Fighting a series of increasingly difficult missions, each one harder than the last, she looks to protect her team of fellow space marines, as they battle their way across the galaxy.
