![]() McCaffrey and Scarborough's simple prose is more suitable for younger readers, but the overstrained plot is ultimately disappointing. The only hope for the endangered felines may be the determined Janina and her friends, along with the megalomaniac cat Pshaw-Ra, whose grandiose claims of feline supremacy are backed up with advanced, cat-friendly spacecraft. in fact I can hardly remember it though I read it just a few months ago (& have been, since I signed up, reviewing books I read years. Its plot is not really interesting or believable. At the same time, a corrupt and well-connected landowner is using an insect infestation to justify a massive public health panic, hoping to acquire cheap land but instead sparking a Federation-wide overreaction that threatens to end in mass cat slaughter. Anne McCaffrey's books usually get a 3 from me, meaning 'Don't expect to get much of lasting value from this, but it's fun.' But this one falls below that line. When professional Cat Person Janina foolishly reveals to criminal Carl ""Ponty"" Poindexter just how valuable Barque cats are, her precious Barque Chessie is soon stolen, to be returned only after dangerous misadventures nearly kill the feline. ![]() ![]() ![]() Award winning authors McCaffrey and Scarborough team up for their 11th collaboration: a book that mixes science fiction and feline fetishism.
