"an exciting science fiction tale that continues the adventures of Cherijo Torin"
Colonel Shropana led the effort of the Allied League of
Worlds to capture Dr. Cherijo Torin. When he threatened to
destroy her homeworld of Joren and kill millions to force
Cherijo to surrender, she betrayed the Leaguers only to
have her husband Duncan Reever betray her to the slave
trading Hsktskt. On the spaceship Perpetua, Cherijo is now Duncan's property
as he is a "brother" to the Hsktskt Overlord Tssvar.
Tssvar places Cherijo in charge of the medic area. Though
hated by the Hsktskt, and loathed and distrusted by the
Leaguers, Cherijo tries to live up to her Hippocratic
Oath. That proves quite difficult when the people you
treat and the staffers you supervise prefer you were dead
than even saving their own life. However, even though she
is almost alone, except for her friend Alunthi the Chakacat
and her pet Jenner, her life in danger from just about
everyone on the ship. ENDURANCE is an exciting science fiction tale that
continues the adventures of Cherijo Torin (see STARDOC and
BEYOND VARALLEN). The story line is fast-paced and
exciting though new readers will need patience to fully
grasp the impact of events from the previous novels that
affect the circumstances of this plot. When the story line
centers on a science fiction medical thriller, the novel is
fantastic and readers will believe in the several alien
species on board ship. When Cherijo turns into a super
hero, the plot is fun to read, but more comic book-like in
nature. SF fans will fully enjoy S.L. Viehl's entertaining
entry in one of the better ongoing series today. Harriet Klausner /January, 2001
