More About the Author
Product Description
Book Description
Lyon's Pride continues the compelling saga begun in The Rowan, Damia and Damia's Children.
Product Description
The survival technique of the Hivers was terrifying -- and brilliant. Their huge Sphere ships, controlled by the Many Mind of ten to sixteen queens, surged out into space. When an appropriate planet was found, the Hivers destroyed any and every variety of indigenous life, the queens propagated, and when the new world was full, more ships were sent out. the colonization was repeated until no planet, no species, least of all Man and Mrdini, was safe.
The furry and courageous Mrdini had fought the Hivers for centuries, many dying bravely in an attempt to save their own worlds. Now Mrdini and Man combined to form the Alliance -- and Humankind had their own weapons to offer -- the power and might of the Talents who could not only communicate silently with each other, but could project cargoes, ships and themselves across the deeps of space.
The four children of Damia -- Laria, Thian, Rojer and Zara -- were Primes amongst the Talents, and all their skills were desperately needed, for the Hivers' terrible Sphere ships were still thrusting through space, unfathomable, impenetrable, and carrying death in their labyrinthine depths.

Format:Mass Market Paperback
"Lyon's Pride" is an excellent continuation to "Damia's Children". These are not stand-alone books. One will need to read "Damia's Children" in order to get the story line straight.
Lyon's Pride is of course the children of Afra Lyon (with the help of Damia one would assume). As the coalition of the Mrdini and the humans become aware of the extent of the expansion of the Hivers, they also become aware of oddities. Rojer, Tian, Zara and Laria are still out in the field working for FT&T in different capacities as go-betweens for humans and Mrdinis.
Whether the Hivers are to be exterminated or preserved is a cause for debate amongst both Mrdini and humans. There are physical attempts to sabotage the effort to preserve the Hivers. Of course, the Lyon children are involved in repelling these attempts. Life is definitely challenging for the eldest of the Lyon Pride.
All in all an enjoyable read. As with "Damia's Children", "Lyon's Pride" depends upon a follow-up in order to tie up all the loose ends.

From Amanda Gillies, Shropshire, England. As a long standing Anne McCaffrey fan, (I even have a bill board from a book shop on my bedroom wall) with all but three of her books (that I know about) I can honestly say that Lyon's Pride is just brilliant, the best, mid story title I've read. You just know there's more and you'll want it. Every last comma and dot is remembered, every person is as real as if they were sitting beside you. The story and characters follow on from the other books, and how! Now, I'm just going to dip into The Tower and The Hive. Again.
