Description

A comet falls between two planets ... lashed by its tail, both planets are thrown from their comfortable orbit, reeling crazily. Finally, they slow, stabilise, and settle into new paths of destiny. Maladar, an icebound world in which only the strictest adherance to rules protects its inhabitants from the formidable environment; and Hera, sculpted to a lush beauty from which the sensual and intelligent wingwomen, botanists by instinct live, until ... a baffling, lethal disease brings the show more unlikely entanglement of these two populations. show less

I picked this up from an op shop on a whim and actually quite enjoyed it. It's the story of two alien planets knocked out of their original orbits by a comet. Once is frozen and inhospitable with people to match and the other inhabited an all-female race of winged humanoids.

As always I liked the imaginative exploration of alien environments and cultures. I was a little confused as to why travelling between two different planets in the same solar system seemed to involve passing through a parallel universe on the way, but the semi-living ships were kind of cool.

I'm a little disappointed to discover that this series was not actually continued.
