Product Description
Book Description
Final book of the Catteni sequence.
Product Description
The inhabitants of Botany - a mixture of humans and extra terrestrials - had managed to build a thriving and productive world out of what had originally been intended as a slave planet. And now they had plans to try and overthrow the terrible Eosi, who for centuries had existed by subsuming members of the Catteni race, living in their bodies and ruling space through them.
And the Botanists had received mysterious and unexpected help from the great beings they knew only as ‘Farmers’ - for the Farmers had thrown a huge impervious space bubble round Botany. Even as the Eosi ships tried to pulverise the rebellious planet, the bubble held firm.
But, safe though they were behind the protective device, Kris Bjornsen, Zainal and all of the Council knew they had to go out and destroy the Eosi on their own ground. It fell to Zainal to risk his life in a desperate and daring mission to vanquish the monster life forms forever.

I enjoyed the other two books in the 'Freedom'series, this one shows how the Farmers aid the settlers in the fight against the mad Ix Mentat. As for Ann McCaffrey - I read, I stay.

I read the first two books and really started to get into the overall story. It really looked to be quite promising as I could imagine all sorts of great things that could stem from what was a great storyline. I eagerly awaited the next book, even ordering the hardback vesion the moment it hit the streets....
Imagine by surprise when I finally received and read this book. I was left feeling cheated at the way that the book rushed through and how easily the 'Great Eoshi' were defeated. Many characters that were developed in the first two books were brushed aside, and I was left wondering what became of them.
All in all I got the impression that this book was rushed. Not what I expected from Anne McCaffrey at all (and I am a fan of her work). Still, I have just ordered the 4th book in the series (bit of a surprise to see a 4th to be honest). We'll see how it goes from there......

What new dreams bring
Many people would find this book quite fast paced and somewhat disgraceful when compared to the others in the series. Not so, I say! Read more
