Product Description

Booklist on the Acorna series

"Combining colorful characterizations, lots of fast-paced action, and a decided sense of menace...this is entertaining fare indeed." --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.



Product Description

Filled with adventure and wonder, Acorna's Peoplecontinues the enthralling saga of Acorna, the beautiful, brave, and kindhearted creature known as the Unicorn Girl.

"Welcome Home, Linyaari Child!"

With the help of her "uncles" and the thousands of humans who love and admire her, Acorna has found her true people, the peaceful, telepathic Linyaari. But Acorna still has much to do before she can enjoy her new home. The legendary resting place of the lost Linyaari ancestors has yet to be found. And with the help of a rogue spacetrader and his feline sidekick, Acorna must strive to right an unspeakable wrong and defeat an enemy even crueler than the Khleevi. Along the way, she will at last uncover the Universe's most carefully guarded secret--the true nature of the ancient link between the Linyaari and the space-faring humans she has also come to think of as her "people."

First Sentence
On the planet of Laboue, within the opulent chief residence of Hafiz Harakamian, in one of the hundreds of finely crafted, hand-joined cabinets of rare and lustrous woods in which he kept his smallest and often most precious collectibles, Acorna had once seen a display of brilliantly bejeweled and decorated eggs. Read the first page

4.0 out of 5 stars Lots of fun, Jul 30 2003
This review is from: Acornas People Mm (Mass Market Paperback)
Besides a new planet full of unicorn-people, "Acorna's People" brings with it another introduction to the Acorna universe - a new co-author. And we can see it in the writing style. This book lacks the near-scientific plausiblity of the first two books that obviously came from mathematician-author Margaret Ball, but the introduction of the *wonderful* characters of Becker and Roadkill (the aspect of the book I loved the most) which I expect were largely Elizabeth Ann Scarborough's creations, made it a delightful read for me. I loved that their characters are continued into the following volumes.

Love and Peace,
Robert

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent read, from the writer of the Pern series, Oct 6 2002

This review is from: Acornas People Mm (Mass Market Paperback)
Hurray, finally another great series from Anne Mccaffery! I was addicted to the Dragons series from Pern. And she continues the magic with Acorna and her friends. I really enjoyed reading this book, and can happily recommend this book and the other Acorna books to you!
