From Publishers Weekly

Gentle Unicorn Girl Acorna makes her fourth appearance in this galaxy-spanning successor to Acorna's Quest. Her shy, empathetic race, the pacific Linyaari, are still menaced by the horrid insectoid Khleevi, whose cannibalistic Young feast on their own elders as well as on other races they torture and destroy. Acorna, aboard the Condor, a spacegoing salvage ship captained by her friend Jonas Becker and accompanied by the vile-tempered Makahomian Temple Cat Road Kill and her Linyaari friend, Aari, who was previously maimed by the Khleevi, answers a distress call that leads her to a planet of sticky-veined sentient vines holding the secret to sapping the Khleevi and saving the Linyaari from extermination. Along the way, Acorna and Aari fall in love, a giant new Moon of Opportunity marketing venture (MOO) opens up for Acorna's adopted neo-Bedouin Uncle Hafiz, and the former slave children Acorna rescued earlier enjoy suitable education, gainful employment and a future of endless Happy Meals. Predictably strong on sweetness and light, noble self-sacrifice and plenty of teeny-bopper growing-up pangsAthough correspondingly superficial in characterizations and future scientific wondersAthis latest chapter in Acorna's adventures also offers (especially toward its close) some wry social commentary on capitalistic machinations and elder-eating younger generations: harmless good spacefaring fun. The novel includes a glossary of terms and proper names and "Brief Notes on the Linyaari Language." (Aug.)

From Library Journal

Returning to deep space after coming to terms with her lost heritage, the unicorn-like woman known as Acorna answers a distress signal that leads her to a new planet threatened by an old and vicious enemy. The fourth installment in this popular adventure series (Acorna, Acorna's People) demonstrates the storytelling expertise of coauthors McCaffrey and Scarborough. Old and new characters, exotic alien races, and unique methods of problem-solving make this a good choice for sf collections.

First Sentence
Roughly six weeks after she had joined the crew of the Condor, flagship of Becker Interplanetary Recycling and Salvage Enterprises, Ltd., Acorna sat on "salvage watch" at the helm of the ship, surrounded by the softly glowing console lights in the cockpit and the billions of stars beyond. Lire la première page

2.0étoiles sur 5 Let it die already, Juil 7 2004
This review is from: Acornas World Mm (Mass Market Paperback)
While I loved the first Acorna books, and fell in love with the sweet little unicorn girl, I quickly changed my mind after this book. The plot was alright, but it seemed to me that McCaffery was rushing through this. She didn't take the time to develop the setting, plot of chars as she should have. She left the ending ambiguous, and tortured a poor creature who had already been tortured enough. Either she needs to spend a lot more time on her writing, or she needs to leave this series alone.

This review is from: Acornas World Mm (Mass Market Paperback)
Disgustingly silly. Seems that her books are getting more and more ridicilous. Book is full of complete nonsense, characters are [unrealistic],the whole thing is extremely childish. Of course, you'll have a holywood style happy ending. Blech.

And she should definitely go back to school to learn some physics and might want to use common sense. Aerosol torpedoes in space?
