Description
From the Hugo and Nebula award-winning authors comes the Petaybee series, full of gripping fantasy and daring adventure. Strange things are happening on the icy planet of Petaybee: Unauthorized genetically engineered species have been spotted; geologic survey teams sent to locate newly detected mineral deposits are either coming up empty or disappearing altogether. And the locals aren't talking--especially not to the company bent on exploiting the planet. Disabled combat veteran Yanaba Maddock seems to be the perfect spy for the company. The frailty that was a liability in the military allows her to gain the trust of the Petaybean natives. But miraculously, with Yana's relocation to the arctic planet comes the return of her health and strength. And the closer she gets to the people of Petaybee, the more determined she is to protect her new home. For something unusual and wonderful is happening on Petaybee. Something worth fighting for, even dying for--but especially, something worth living for. . . .… (more)
User reviews
are interesting and believable, and the premise of the book works well. Unfortunately, the resolution is just a little far fetched and fantastic
taste. However, it's still worth the read. You'll enjoy every minute you spend getting there, just beware that at the end you may find you did not enjoy
where you got.
When she heads to her transport, she finds herself squarely in the middle of some local dispute.
There really wasn’t much to this book. On page 50 I just wanted the book to end. It gotten better…barely…but I kept on reading, even though it was killing me to go on. It wasn’t that bad, but it could’ve been a lot more. The ending was touchy and sweet, but that’s all it has. I was very disappointed, and maybe I expected too much for this book.
