A very good book

I got this book on a friday and was reading the last page by Sunday night. I couldn't put it down. I enjoyed this book as much as the rest of the Acorna Series. I can't wait for the next one.

second wave: Acorna's children

This book is similar to those others in this series by the author. They allow you to see what is being written about as if you were there. This story tells how Acorna daughters work out being picked on by the preancestors and how then they learn that they are sisters.

Second Wave

Like most of her work alone and with co-writers, this is another rousing tale. Takes place in the Acorna universe and is geared as usual to a young teen audience, although enjoyable as a quick read for adults. This is the nineth in the series and carries Acorna's daughter towards a meeting with her unknown twin sister. A galactic plague precludes her meeting up with Acorna and Arii, as well as the twin sister who also does not know of the connection. Only the ship's cat does and he's not talking. But all's well that ends well, if not here then in the next volume: Third Watch. McCaffrey has come a long way since the early days of the world of Pern 30 odd years ago. Her writing has been a constant ever since. As much as I enjoy her characters and plots, the one criticism I'd level, is the lack of depth. Neither the characters nor the plots have much, unlike those of C. J. Cherryh or Marion Bradley which come with great depth and complexity. Still, the subjects she chooses get decent treatment and aren't meant to be literary tracts in the first place.
