A review by petealdin
City of Pearl by Karen Traviss

5.0

I bought this book based on reading Traviss' Star Wars novels and wasn't disappointed. Very very good space opera with some terrific points of differences, including a parasite that basically allows the host to live forever as well pick up the dna of other species.

The environmental message in all the Wess'Har books is a little preachy, but it does suit the main character Fran. All of the characters are 3 dimensional, with their own foibles and values.

I loved it. Hope you do (did) too.
