Rediscover this beloved Newbery Honor-winning classic, Featuring a brand-new cover and a foreword by Lois Lowry!
Elana, a member of an interstellar civilization on a mission to a medieval planet, becomes the key to a dangerous plan to turn back an invasion. How can she help the Andrecians, who still believe in magic and superstition, without revealing her own alien powers? At the same time, Georyn, the son of an Andrecian woodcutter, knows only that there is a dragon in the enchanted forest, and he must defeat it. He sees Elana as the Enchantress from the Stars who has come to test him, to prove he is worthy.
One of the few science fiction books to win a Newbery Honor, this novel continues to enthrall readers of all ages.
When burned-out starship captain Jesse Sanders is seized by a
dictatorial medical regime and detained on the colony planet
Undine, he has no idea that he is about to be plunged into a
bewildering new life that will involve ordeals and joys beyond
anything he has ever imagined, as well as the love of a woman with
powers that seem superhuman. Still less does he suspect that he
must soon take responsibility for the lives of people he has come
to care about and preservation of their hopes for the future of
humankind.
This controversial novel, winner of a bronze medal in the 2008
Independent Publisher (IPPY) Book Awards, deals with the so-called
paranormal powers of the human mind and appeals to a wide range of
readers who question the dominant medical philosophy of today's
society. Unlike Engdahl's earlier novels, it is not a YA book and
is not appropriate for middle-school readers.
This edition is formatted to match the sequel, "Promise of the
Flame." The text is unchanged from the 2007 edition.
Three hundred people, isolated on a raw new planet in the hope that
their psi powers will become the foundation of a culture that can
someday shape the future of humankind. If they don't starve first.
If they don't lose heart in the face of hardships beyond any they
imagined. And if their kids can be reared to believe in the dream
and keep it alive from one generation to the next.
Starship Captain Jesse Sanders hasn't expected to be responsible
for the settlement. Peter is the leader, the visionary on whose
inspiration they all depend. But Peter has his hands full, not only
with maintaining morale but with grueling ordeals of his own. So
the job of ensuring the colony's survival falls on Jesse. And in
the end, he must stake his life in a desperate attempt to prevent
the loss of all they have gained.
This is a sequel to "Stewards of the Flame," but it can be read
independently. Unlike Engdahl's other earlier novels, it is not a
YA book and is not appropriate for middle-school readers.
