Dancing Suns: Book One Of The Zaddack Tales is the epic journey of Serall, who may be the last human in the universe, and her psychically linked Zaddack, an alien cross between wolf and leopard. Together, Serall and her Zaddack must seek the answer of a mystic prophecy, in order to find the Chosen Ones and lead them to the land of the blue sky. Exotic and vibrant, this alien tale of the far future is a superb taste of danger, adventure, and odyssey. Also very highly recommended is Karen Daniels' science fiction opus, Mentor's Lair (1892323214).

I met Karen Daniels last November in Mexico and have been waiting very patiently for this book to be published! Dancing Suns is a very engaging, fast paced, read. I look at Serall's life challenge and see her spiritual agreements with her family and the members of her community. She was born on the plant of the two suns and green sky to fulfill a prophesy. She is very young when she is bonded to a zaddack and begins her spritural and psychic development. Karen weaves a very exciting and emotional tale of Serall's life and the people she encounters along the way. I loved the presence of each character and how they played out their role (karma) in Serall's life. Her journey has many twist and turns and I kept turning the pages to see what "next steps" Karen had created for her along the way. I am looking forward to the next book and Serall's journey to the planet with the blue sky.

As a guy who rearely reads anything but Westerns, I found Karen Daniels, Dancing Suns, a real page turner. She took me to a beliviable never-never land which I found very enjoyable. Great characterization. I hope she's writing a followup. I'll look forward to reading it.

Do you know who you are? Are your values your own or are they those of the people who raised you? What if you were raised to perform an arduous task at maturity, and when the time came, your instincts were to search for self-fulfilment instead.

That is Serall's plight. Accompanied only by a four legged friend to whom she is psychically connected, and armed with mental skills she has been taught by an ancient "Golden One", Serall encounters love, lust, repulsive Biogards, and the miraculous "Crysolium", the secret to interstellar travel and , possibly, immortality.

Well plotted, with realistic dialogue, and much action, the book is a fast read, with much to think about........

Dancing Suns is exciting, interesting, and a good read. Ms. Daniels' idea of breathing humanistic traits and personalities into the Zaddack to combat the threatened extinction of the human race is refreshing and works for me. I totally understood her psychic connection with the animal as we are all connected to each other in that way. Dancing Suns is one of those books I hated to put down. I couldn't wait to read more each day to see what was happening and was sad to see the tale end. I think of the characters often and wonder how they are doing. I am waiting for her next book to find out!
