Product Description
From School Library Journal
YA?In what may be her best series since the early "Pern" novels, McCaffrey has created yet another winner. While conquering and colonizing the universe, the alien Catteni take the misfits and troublemakers they encounter and dump them on empty planets. If they survive, then the Catteni move in. Freedom's Landing (Putnam, 1995) introduced a human/alien group struggling just to stay alive. In this second book, these Botany Bay-like survivors have overcome hardships to establish a society of sorts. Zainal, a renegade Catteni, and his fellow dumpees have begun to strike back at their oppressors. They are also trying to uncover the identity of the original residents of the planet and enlist their support. McCaffrey has developed another exotic world peopled with interesting, well-developed characters. This book stands alone but works better with the first novel.

From Library Journal
Continuing the storyline from Freedom's Landing (LJ 4/15/95), this second book in the series finds the human and aliens on the penal planet Botany planning a rebellion against their slavemasters. After the Catteni subdue and transport to penal colony planets people from Earth and other civilizations for their Eosi masters, one Catteni, Zainal, chooses to remain on Botany. His plan? To join his fellow slaves in convincing the absentee owners of the planet to turn against the Eosi and free the colonists. McCaffrey is at her best with interspecies interactions and uniting for a goal against a common enemy. Highly recommended for sf collections.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Freedom's Choice,
By Kent L. Albert (Marbleton, WY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Freedom's Choice (Mass Market Paperback)
A wonderful pick-up where the last one ended. Enjoy the story because you will want to finish the series.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Great story, but read all 3 books one right after the other.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Freedom's Choice (Mass Market Paperback)
I was hooked immediately when I bought the audio version of Freedom's Landing, the first in the series. But you should read all three books one right after the other so the story flows better. (I hate it when a book ends suddenly and leaves you hanging until the next publication is available). This next book in the series picks up right where Freedom's Landing left off. Freedom's Choice has the same action as the first book. You find yourself reading in anticipation the more the "dropped" discover about the original owners of Botany. Looking forward to listening to the third installation of the Freedom's Series (Freedom's Challenge) because, though I choose to read Freedom's Choice in the written form, I think the audio version helps creates a more interesting vision.
4.0 out of 5 stars
A very enjoyable book,

This book is a very good read. Not as good as some of her books, but not bad, either. I enjoyed it. A fine sequel.
