I like the first book best, Freedom's Landing; there's a bit of accelerated development in there, but also a lot of lovely character development and worldbuilding. Freedom's Choice has a little more development and a lot more action on the universe-saving level (which annoys me) and less on the personal level. Freedom's Challenge...is a bit limp. It more-or-less wraps up the main arc that runs through all three books, but does so with rather a lot of auctorial meddling and deus ex machinae. There's a definite downhill slope through the three books - which are, unfortunately, really one story in three books. I don't think I could just read the first one, which is a pity. More detailed reviews in the individual books. ( ) no reviews | add a review

Freedom's Landing - read by Susie Breck, directed by Ruth Bloomquist It's the dawning of a new age for mankind when the Catteni descend to Earth and easily overcome the Earth's population. Thousands are herded onto slave ships headed for the intergalactic auction block. Kris Bjornsen is captured in Denver on her way to her college classes and wakes up on the primitive planet Barevi. Courageous and resourceful, she manages a single-woman escape from the Catteni and is living in the wilds of the planet when she comes to the aid of a Catteni soldier pursued by his own ranks. Recaptured together, they join forces with other slaves to outwit their captors and a hostile planetary environment. Freedom's Challenge - multi-voice narration, directed by Ruth Bloomquist Kris Bjornsen has come a long way since alien slave ships scooped her up in Denver with thousands of others. Dropped off on an apparently uninhabited world with the rest, she has fallen in love with Zainal, a renegade Catteni, and made a comfortable life for herself and her new family. But she feels a soldier's duty to escape Botany and rejoin the struggle for freedom. Freedom's Choice - multi-voice narration, directed by Ruth Bloomquist The shipments of Catteni slaves continue, but they find that they are enjoyably reinventing the creature comforts of home, and searching for the origin of the Farmers who were the original occupants of Botany, all under the keen eyes of two very different observers. When scouts for the Emassi come to retrieve Zainal, shanghaied in the original shipment of slaves, Botany changes irrevocably. Listeners will delight in this continued adventure of survival, romance, and ingenuity. No library descriptions found. |
