In Changelings, bestselling authors Anne McCaffrey and Elizabeth
Ann Scarborough returned to the sentient planet Petaybee with a
story of growth and transformation in the face of deadly new
threats. The telepathic, shapeshifting twins Murel and Ronan found
that Petaybee had plans for them as well. Now those plans begin to
bear fruit with fresh possibilities . . . and dangers.
MAELSTROM
Now that Petaybee is forming a new equatorial island, the planet
has agreed to harbor a group of new refugees, workers indentured to
the powerful InterGal Corporation. But the mission to collect the
immigrants becomes a rescue operation when it is revealed that
InterGal is doing nothing to help these survivors of a world
devastated by a meteor shower. Murel and Ronan set out to persuade
the frightened refugees to come out of hiding, leave their world,
and bring along their sacred totem animals, the gifted sea turtles
called the Honus. But the twins discover that they've taken on more
than they expected: The Honus are not the only animals sacred to
the refugees. There are also the Manos, intelligent sharks who have
lost none of their predatory habits-and who cannot be left behind
to die.
When the Manos are released into Petaybee's waters, a tragic
misunderstanding endangers the whole resettlement operation. At the
same time, the mysterious sea otters who once rescued the twins'
father are suddenly revealed to be much more than they appear to
be.
Now it is up to Ronan and Murel, with the intrepid assistance of
their river otter friend Sky, to smooth the waters before a
maelstrom of revenge destroys Petaybee's harmonious way of life.
But even as the twins uncover startling new facts about Petaybee's
past that will change everything they thought they knew about the
planet, the forces of InterGal are gathering, preparing to strike.
