Treecat Wars

The fires are out, but the trouble's

just beginning for the

treecats

On pioneer planet

Sphinx, ruined lands and the approach of winter force the now Landless Clan to

seek new territory. They have one big problem-there's nowhere to go. Worse,

their efforts to find a new home awaken the enmity of the closest treecat clan-a

stronger group who's not giving up a single branch without a

fight

Stephanie Harrington, the

treecats' greatest advocate, is off to Manticore for extensive training-and up

to her ears in challenges there. That leaves only Stephanie's best friends,

Jessica and Anders, to save the treecats from themselves. And now a group of

xenoanthropologists is once again after the great secret of the treecats-that

they are intelligent, empathic telepaths-and their agenda will lead to nothing

less that treecat

exploitation.

Finally, Jessica

and Anders face problems of their own, including their growing attraction to one

another. It is an attraction that seems a betrayal of Stephanie Harrington, the

best friend either of them have ever had.
