Book review from Nikita La Femme
Acorna's People
by
Anne McCaffrey and Elizabeth Scarborough
Acorna's quest has paid off. With the help of her "uncles" and the
thousands of humans who love and admire her, she has found her true
people at last.
And they have found her. Khornya, daughter of the illustrious Feriila
and the valiant Vaanye, who was given up for lost after the insect-like
Khleevi destroyed their home planet.
Abandoned in space as a baby, rescued and raised by gruff human asteroid
miners, Acorna is at last among her own. The beautiful healing horn in
the center of her forehead and the "funny" feet and hands that once set
her apart now make her one with the telepathic Linyaari who live on as
lush agrarian planet where they pursue their peaceful dreams.
But Acorna still has much to do before she can enjoy the peaceful home
she is offered. With the help of the rogue spacetrader Becker and his
cat, RK (RoadKill), Acorna must strive to right an unspeakable wrong.
In the search, Acorna and her new friends rescue another survivor, also
given up for lost. Most importantly, though, Acorna at last uncovers the
Universe's most carefully guarded secret the true nature of the ancient
link between the hoofed, telepathic Linyaari and the space-faring humans
she has come to think of as her "people" as well.
In all literature, there is no creature more wondrous, no girl more
beautiful, no youth more adventurous than Anne McCaffrey's beloved
Unicorn Girl. Acorna and Acorna's Quest told of her childhood and early
youth. Now award-winning author Elizabeth Ann Scarborough joins Anne
McCaffrey to continue the saga of this beloved character in a story that
will delight every fan and win new hearts, too.
Acorna's People is a story for readers of all ages especially those who
have not yet lost (or who still remember) the magic that lives in the
hearts of the young.
Review By Sir Wally
Realizing this book does not feature cats and instead is about wolves, it is not about D*GS! This series is one of mine and
meowmie's favorites. It is a bit of a fantasy but is listed as
Science Fiction by the publisher, Del Rey.
The main character is Dion, a healer and a wolfwalker with a unique bond to the wolf Gray Hishn. She finds herself lost in the wilderness with angry slavers on her heels and a war brewing on the horizon. In a snowy winter wasteland, with the wolves as her guides, the secrets of the ancients would be the only thing that could save them.
This book should not be read by very young kitties.
