Twenty-three years after Anne McCaffrey wrote "Decision at Doona," she partnered with Jody Lynn Nye to write a sequel.

"Crisis on Doona" picks up the story 25 years after the first book. The citizens of Doona from both worlds want the experiment that began 25 years earlier to be formalized by a

treaty. Not everyone from the two home worlds feel the same way, so the critics sabatoge the process and cause the two co-leaders to be accused of crimes they did not commit. Politics, again, play a key role in finding a satisfying solution. McCaffery and Nye did a find job of continuing the story.
