Klappentext The alien Catteni invaded Earth and enslaved thousands of humans on the planet Botany, where they struggle to survive while colonizing the world for their overseers. Now that they've proved Botany is capable of sustaining life, Kris Bjornsen and her fellow settlers have no intention of surrendering the home they've created for themselves... Armed with the knowledge that the true enemy behind the Catteni is the Eosi race, Kris has begun a campaign to free Botany's settlers by raising a rebellion among her people against their parasitic oppressors. Aided by her Catteni lover, Zainal, Kris and the colonists manage to steal warships—and discover dissidents on other Eosi-controlled worlds. If all of the subjugated races join forces, they will have an army large enough to win their freedom and their worlds. The war of liberation has begun. “Readers will savor [McCaffrey’s] works for generations to come.” — Starlog Praise for Anne McCaffrey’s Freedom series Freedom’s Landing “McCaffrey has created another set of winning protagonists and a carefully detailed, exotic background.” — Publishers Weekly “There are enough problems and mysteries involved in establishing a colony to keep things interesting and to promise intriguing developments to come.” — Locus “Not for nothing do her fans call the author ‘the Dragonlady’…She crafts a sci-fi adventure that will please followers of the genre and of the author.” — Dayton Daily News “Exciting and totally convincing…There can be only more action in the sequels McCaffrey presumably plans.” — Booklist “The narrative hits an admirable groove.” — Kirkus Reviews Freedom’s Choice “A fun adventure…Delightfully audacious.” — Locus “This episode of the Freedom saga is as exciting and convincing as the first.” — Booklist “The setting is crisp and expertly detailed, and the plot spins out smoothly…Readers will be eager for the next installment in the series.” — Publishers Weekly Freedom’s Challenge “The action is fast-paced and riveting, and the characters—human and of other species—are well limned and exhibit great individuality.
