Product Description

Product Description

In "Powers That Be", "Power Lines" and "Power Play" best-selling authors, Anne McCaffrey and Elizabeth Ann Scarborough told the story of a sentient planet, Petaybee. In "Changelings", the first of a new series of novels, they return to Petaybee. Ronan Born for Water Shongili and Murel Monster Slayer Shongili are the twin son and daughter of Yana Maddock and Sean Shongili. Born on Petyabee, their destiny is deeply intertwined with the sentient planet that is their home, for Ronan and Murel are more than human. Like their father, each can transform into a seal and converse telepathically with the planet's creatures - such as the friendly otter whose life they save one day from a pack of ravenous wolves. But the twins' bravery has unforeseen results when a visiting scientist witnesses their startling metamorphosis and becomes obsessed with their capture. To protect their children, Sean and Yana send them to stay with a powerful family friend on an orbiting space station. But no one realizes how curious Ronan and Murel are to discover the origins of their shape-shifting talent - and that their search for knowledge will place them squarely in the path of peril. Meanwhile Petaybee is changing - and much faster than an ordinary planet's natural evolution. It appears that portions of the sea are heating up and a landmass is suddenly rising from the depths. To investigate the startling occurrence, Sean heads out to the open water in his seal form. But the newly unstable region holds untold mysteries - and the potential for disaster.


From the Back Cover

In Powers That Be, Power Lines and Power Play Anne McCaffrey and Elizabeth Ann Scarborough told the story of a sentient planet, Petaybee. In Changelings, the first of a new series, they return to Petaybee.

Ronan and Murel are the twins of Yana Maddock and Sean Shongili. Born on Petaybee, their destiny is intertwined with that of the planet. Like their father, Ronan and Murel can transform into seals. They can also communicate telepathically with the planet’s creatures.

After their transformation is witnessed by a visiting scientist the twins face great danger and need a refuge where they can escape capture. Meanwhile Petaybee is changing – and much faster than an ordinary planet’s natural evolution. A new landmass suddenly rises from the depths of the sea and Sean heads out to investigate it. But the newly unstable region holds the potential for disaster…

3.0 out of 5 stars Much the mixture as before, 23 Mar 2006
By Ms. A. Mair "amair20" (Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Neither the best nor the worst by these authors. The story is clearly a mid-series warm feeling for the animal lover. It avoids the tweeness of Acorna, just, and I enjoyed the twins and the introduction of a new race to join the two races on the living planet. Indeed I read it in one day as I wanted see what happened in the page turner. BUT this warm soup hug of the day is not up to the heights of earlier work, not a re-readable Crystal Singer or Dragonflight. Read in the order of the series and expect loose ends - they are clearly not done with this series yet.
