Synopsis

Anne McCaffrey captured the interest and hearts of many with Freedom's Landing as Catteni slaves unexpectedly became settlers establishing a new colony on Botany, presumably an uninhabited M-type planet. In Freedom's Choice the saga progresses to an extraordinary level.The shipments of Catteni slaves continue, but they find that they are enjoyably reinventing the creature comforts of home, and searching for the origin of the Farmers who were the original occupants of Botany, all under the keen eyes of two very different observers. When scouts for the Emassi come to retrieve Zainal, shanghaied in the original shipment of slaves, Botany changes irrevocably. Listeners will delight in this continued adventure of survival, romance, and ingenuity.

This is the second book in her series started with Freedom's Landing. The series is not about the invasion and conquering of Earth.

The second book in the series definitely didn't annoy me as much as the first one! The Farmer's have finally noticed that something has gone a bit wrong on their planet and come to take a look-see, although their attitude isn't quite what our mixed bag of refugees wanted. We also find out more about......more

Not as good as Book 1 but things are heating up between the colonists of Botany and the Catteni, especially now that they have a small ship of their own and have the "Farmers" on their side to help keep them safe. Didn't much care for the "get Kris drunk and screw" by that Pete guy while Zainal was......more
