She discovers a paragon tube that provides insight into her father's life - and her own.Race and Sandy now have a similar mission.

This review is from: Race For Doroon (Paperback)

This is a wonderful book. It has all the suspense, action and adventure of a best seller. I couldn't put it down because I kept wanting to find out what was going to happen next! Race for Doroon will keep you turning pages until the end of the story. There just aren't words enough in any language to say how I truly feel about Race for Doroon. It is one of those "Must Read" books for adventure fans and science fiction fans alike.

This review is from: Race For Doroon (Paperback)

Human colonosts have decided there really are mysterious cats on Doroon after all. They're blaming them for the loss of cattle.

The cats have decided that the humans, whose first act on arriving was to kill the King's heir, are just too uncivilized and must be removed.

Meanwhile, the human throne remains empty since the Queen was assasinated years ago. The government she wisely set in motion continues to function but corruption runs unchecked. The Rangers struggle in vain to rid the human worlds of crime and violence because pirates have infiltrated the government.
