Doona
Author: Anne McCaffrey
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0441011314
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
For the first time in one volume—two complete novels set on the remarkable world of Doona, by two of the most acclaimed literary imaginations. More than twenty-five years ago, the first humans came to the unspoiled planet of Doona. They ignored one important fact: They were not alone. Doona was the home of the catlike alien race of Hrrubans. And so began an experiment in cohabitation that lasted for a quarter of a century. Their contract is now up for renewal. Now, the wild planet they tamed, the home they fought for, and the delicate alliance they share could be destroyed forever as a new threat looms. The Gringgs are not the first alien visitors to the planet, but they are the first to offer friendship—and a proposal for a prosperous future. But not everyone trusts the new guests. Not everyone believes in their motives. And as a battle of diplomatic unrest ensues, Doona once again falls under the dark shadow of uncertainty—and self-destruction. “An excellent read.”—Locus “[McCaffrey and Nye] blend their skills effectively to produce a brisk, well-told…tale. Fans of either author, or both, will have fun.”—Booklist

Decision at Doona
Author: Anne McCaffrey
Publisher: Del Rey
ISBN: 0425287106
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
A fateful encounter between star-roving races by the author of the bestselling Dragonriders of Pern series! After the first human contact with the Siwannese, that entire race committed mass suicide. So the Terran government made a law—no further contact would be allowed with sentient creatures anywhere in the galaxy. Therefore Doona could be colonized only if an official survey established that the planet was both habitable and uninhabited. But Spaceship had made a mistake—Doona was inhabited. Now the colonists' choice was limited. Leave Doona and return to the teeming hell of an overpopulated Terra. Or kill the catlike Hrrubans. Or learn, for the first time in history, how to coexist with an alien race.

Book Description
Doona was a jewel of a planet -- a pastoral paradise with rivers, lakes, mountains and seas. The Hrrubans needed it to revitalise their decadent race, to give it back something of the old pioneering spirit. The Terrans needed it as an overspill from the hysterical crowding of Earth, a place to breathe and move without restrictions. So they both sent a colonising party -- and they both began to think of Doona as Home. And then one day the smooth-skinned, two-legged mammal known as Man came face to face with the furry, four-pawed mammal known as Hrruban...
