The Skeen trilogy follows an intergalactic thief and smuggler who makes her living plundering artifacts from dead civilizations. Skeen’s Leap (1986), Skeen’s Return (1987), and Skeen’s Search (1987) blend science fiction with fantasy elements in what is often described as science fantasy.
The trilogy was published during Clayton’s most productive period in the mid-1980s, alongside the Diadem novels and the first Drinker of Souls book. Skeen is one of several roguish female protagonists in Clayton’s work.
