Hi Robin
I just have one correction for you and that is the "dragon" books
(Pern) are Science Fiction. Ann gets very testy when you call them
Fantasy. I don't know why she just does. I was at a chat where she was
the guest speaker and she made that point rather quickly.
As for Freedom's Landing yes I have read and enjoyed it also and the
sequel is Freedom's Choice which is also pretty good. Have you read
Powers That Be series from AM? If so what did you think of them? I
didn't really like them, which bothered me as I usually enjoy
everything by AM.
