Any visitor to Cairo should avail themselves of the following two books,which are of tremendous assistance in discovering what one would like to see in Cairo, and finding one's way to them! Note: Pictures the three books below are not available on amazon.com; these are scans of my own copies of the books, which I purchased in Cairo back in 1986; the covers may have changed. |

A recent new trilogy from Anne McCaffrey, in
conjunction with Elizabeth Scarborough, is the Petaybee (after PTB, for Powers That Be who
run the planet) Trilogy. Really charming, and one of my favorites! Below the
books themselves is a review of the first in the trilogy, Powers That Be.

Well-handled far-future speculation on ecological engineering and planetary consciousness,
from McCaffrey (Damia's Children, etc.) and Scarborough (Last Refuge). Major Yana Maddock
of the ubiquitous ``company'' is medically discharged (poison gas has ruined her lungs) on
the arctic planet Petaybee, where the company has noted some odd goings-on: unauthorized
new life forms have mysteriously appeared; geological survey teams have inexplicably
disappeared. Yana is assured of a full pension in return for spying on the Petaybeans, the
latter a mixed Eskimo-Irish population well adapted to the frigid climate. Befriended by
the local women, taught how to survive in the cold, given a medicine that heals her lungs,
Yana soon comes to admire the Petaybeans, especially handsome genetics whiz Sean. And
their secret? Well, the planet itself is sentient, and eager to communicate with those
willing to listen. But soon the company grows impatient with Yana's honest explanations,
sending in troops to grab what they want. The planet itself reacts to confound the
invaders, forcing them to learn to communicate. And Sean turns out to be doubly
adapted--he can transform his body into that of a seal. Agreeably colorful, well-realized
adventure centered on an intriguing alternative lifestyle. A felicitous combination of
authors, rather better indeed than either contributor's recent solo efforts. -- Copyright

For those new to Anne McCaffrey, here are the first two in her wonderful Dragons of Pern series... or, you can start right in with the first two of the charming Harper Hall of Pern tales, Dragonsong and Dragonsinger, and work back after that.
