Description
Kristin Bjornsen lived a normal life, right up until the day the spaceships floated into view above Denver. As human slaves were herded into the maw of a massive vessel, Kristin realized her normal life was over and her fight for freedom was just beginning…
The alien Catteni value strength and intelligence in their slaves—and Kristin has managed to survive her enslavement while hundreds of other humans have not. But her trial has just begun, for now she finds herself part of a massive experiment. The aliens have discovered a new world, and they have a simple way of finding out if it’s habitable: drop hundreds of slaves on the surface and see what happens.
If they survive, colonization can begin. If not, there are always more slaves.
Reviews
I read this in the 5th grade.
5By SixpinesI read this book in the 5th grade. I was hungering for science fiction and I was also determined to win the reading award that year. I won it. However, out of all of the books I read that year only two have stuck with me. This is one of them. I’ve often drifted back to thinking about this book and I’m now starting to delve into the sequels. This is a great read for anyone that’s into sci-fi spliced with some survival and mystery!Freedom's Landing by Anne McCaffrey
5By Highpockets4866I'm assuming, and I know that's a no-no, this is the same lady who authored the ' Dragon Rider'. books some years ago and I hope I'm not "aging" Ms. McCaffrey. I was just getting back to reading when I started that first book and really enjoyed them. I also enjoyed this book. It had all the qualities I look for in a book and then some , was very readable and I had to force myself to take breaks when I needed to.Freedoms Landing
5By ElkwoodlandWhat a fascinating story! The possibilities are excellent for a doxology at the very least. These people were forced to be pioneers on a planet by being dropped there by slavers. They had to learn with No knowledge of the planets natural dangers or benefits. It gets better the more you read. Yes the 2 sequels I know of are also very good reads. I turkey enjoyed them.
