"It seemed like she should be more wary" according to jujube. I believe this book was first published in 1995. Reading it, I was reminded at various times of James Dashner's Maze Runner, TV's "The Dome" and Lindsay Buroker's Fallen Empire Series. It was interesting and held my attention. A few minor negatives (1) The things Kris said were sometimes hokey/dated. (2) I couldn't quite fathom why Kris was so loyal to Zainal so quickly, especially after what he said that caused her to knock him out and try to get rid of him. It seemed like she should be more wary. (It seemed like she should be more wary I believe this book was first published in 1995.

This has been a favorite for many years This has been a favorite for many years, a unique amazing perspective which combines the concept of alien invasion, survival skills, and integration with other lifeforms (we could learn a lot!). I couldn't get into the Pern series, but Anne McCaffrey is a spectacular storyteller, a beautiful writer and worldbuilder. This book put me on the path for my own career and I have to say THANK YOU to her for lending me her brilliance for the pages of this book. The audiobook is pretty awesome too! All I need now is my own little retirement home in Ireland too!. A Typically Great Work from Anne McCaffrey A typically great work from Anne McCaffrey.Although she is known primarily for her stories of the mythical world of Pern with the life there of interaction between flying dragons and humans, she writes other stories of science fiction and fantasy as well. This is one of those stories and to me, it fits both genres.This is the first of a series and I see it having the potential to expand to Pern like dimensions. I hope she continues it soon.There is action, suspense, conflict and resolution. The action starts with the two protagonists first in conflict with each other and then their joint escape from the forces after both of them The conf
