"Great space opera"
On old Earth, unicorns really existed, but they were
hunted into near extinction for their horns that could heal
and purify any kind of matter. A space faring race rescued
the few survivors of the magical beings and took them to a
new world called Vhilinyar where they created the Linyaari
race, a bipedal humanoid species with a horn that heals and
purifies on their forehead. Their world was a peaceful and tranquil one until the
Khlee race decimated it, making it unfit to live on
anymore. Acorna, brought up outside the Linyaari people,
is helping her people terraform so that they could once
more live on it. Acorna and other members of her species
conduct surveys on the planet when some of them
mysteriously disappear. Some of Acorna's closest friends
and her lifemate Aari are among the missing and the unicorn
girl vows to do everything in her power, including working
the space-time continuum to bring them back. ACORNA'S SEARCH is a great space opera that readers
will enjoy for the sheer pleasure it gives the audience.
The Linyaari and their homeland are so colorfully described
that the reader feels as if they actually exist. There's
definitely another installment of this fascinating series
on the way because the authors left one very important
threat dangling. Harriet Klausner
