An Exchange of Gifts - Anne McCaffrey

The Rowan - Anne McCaffrey

Category: sci-fi Series/position: Tower and Hive, book 1 of 5 Now, I must admit, I’m not the world’s biggest Anne McCaffrey fan, and knowing that might help you decide if my opinion is any use to you. I do enjoy her writing, but I find it can seem a little ‘young’ – which is great when you want a quick and easy read, but not really challenging. The Rowan is the first in a series of five (the others being Damia, Damia’s Children, Lyon’s Pride, The Tower and The Hive – all currently available) set in the same world as the Talent series (To Ride Pegasus, Pegasus in Flight, Pegasus in Space). I haven’t read this ...

Acorna - Anne McCaffrey

growing attraction between Acorna and Aari. Late into the tale, Anne McCaffrey and Elizabeth Ann Scarborough provide an entertaining, cleverly designed critique on how the young devour the elderly in free market society. Erudite fans will dine on Margaret Ball's linguistic interpretation that intelligently spoofs the plot's action-packed space opera with a small but serious thesis. Though lacking depth to any of the key players except in an overall generalization of the traits of the various races, ACORNA'S WORLD is a fun to read work of science fiction. ...

Acorna - Anne McCaffrey

Acorna is an orphaned alien girl who has fur and a horn like a mythical unicorn albeit a humanoid one. She's rescued by 3 space prospector foster fathers and grows up to save the exploited victims of the child labour trade on the planet Kedzet. It's all rather unlikely but that's the nature of science fiction and fantasy. The Plot ======== Gill, Calum and Rafik float about in space and mine likely asteroids for valuable minerals. They detect a distress signal and discover an enchanting alien infant in an escape pod, whom they name Acorna. They have to return to their HQ to unload their minerals. Unfortunately, the company they were contracted to switched ...
