Product Description
THE IRITREES FORM POISON PODS

Trav felt better. At least he wouldn't be alone in this. Another idea entered Trav's mind and he blurted it out before he thought. "What will you do if the men start cutting live trees before I can stop them?"

A myriad of brightly colored images formed one after the other on the ground. Trav didn't have to ask what had happened. He remembered Aunt Meddle's story of how the trees poisoned the settler who insisted on cutting live trees. This time the iritrees had no plan to show mercy. They would kill every person on the planet if anyone logged live trees.

Trav tried asking for patience, mercy, a promise to give him time to stop the loggers.

The wisper faded to nothing until only one idea remained in Trav's mind. Remember.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sci-Fi Ranger, meet Fantasy farms, November 11, 2006
By Andrew Taylor (Stafford, Virginia USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A futuristic ranger meets old farmland charm in this new departure for Mrs. Dennis. Intended as the pilot novel of a new sci-fi/fantasy blend series, Guardian's Gambit details the story of the young Galactic Guardian Trav Weiss on his mission to aquire a large supply of the planet's valuable natural resources - the only way to end mankind's hostilities with a misterious alien race. The mission quickly changes however as hidden agendas are revealed, and Trav finds himself alone between an alien race and the massacre of the planet's human population. A loveable cast of caracters straight out of a country story, from the sensible and kind Aunt Meddle, or the wise but practical loner Hermit, to the beautiful but naïve tomboy Sam provide humor, romance, and adventure that will entertain readers of all ages.

4.0 out of 5 stars Guardian's Gambit has Old-World Charm, June 8, 2001
By "pwess10" (Houston, Texas USA) - See all my reviews
Carol Dennis's new book, Guardian's Gambit, is a must-buy if you love your off-world experiences so rich in atmosphere and detail that you can practically smell the biscuits baking. Her writing style is a perfect fit for the home-spun culture on her agrarian planet of Wald, and it makes you feel she writes about a place she'd lived all her life. The plot reminds me of a western, where the lawman comes to stop the rustlers, and if he doesn't deal with them quickly, the settlers will be wiped out by marauding Indians (whose part is played by sentient trees). The story comes complete with a sidekick cougcat and a helpful widow with a beautiful niece. If you like old-fashioned fun updated for the modern reader, Guardian's Gambit is for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gaurdian Gambit is the book for you., May 3, 2001
By Debbie McRill "dmcrill3" (Trinity, Texas, USA) - See all my reviews
Whether you are a died in the wool sci-fi reader or one that likes a good story, Guargian Gambit is the book for you. You'll appreciate Trav, the Gaurdian who arrives on Wald wanting to do a little politcal favor currying, but soon is thrown into a race to save the planet.

Aunt Meddle, what can I say about her except her name truly fits her as you soon see, but you'll take to her instantly. Watch out for her rolling pin. Without giving away any plot secrets, let me say that the trees are very different than the ones on Earth. We all know that feline's have a mind of their own, but on this planet, they really have a mind of their own.

Carol Dennis has a voice that is both simple and complex. The story rolls forth easily, but suddenly, she drops in unique ways of perceiving the world Wald.

4.0 out of 5 stars A SciFi title from this clever fantasy author
This book currently stands alone, but could become the first of a new series. It is not related to the author's Dragon series. My detailed rating would be 4.0 for this book. Read more
