4.0

Pleasant, fluffy, feel-good sci-fi, full of strange flora and fauna, people with big hearts, clever kids, and loving couples. Nothing bad ever happens.

The stories focus on Annie Masmajean. She's a kind-hearted, no-nonsense, middle aged geneticist and biologist on a human colonized planet, whose job it is to sort things out when half-otter half-moose creatures or other weird, potentially unpleasant, genetic implausibilities are discovered. It always works out in the end, leaving everybody happy.
