Stephanie Harrington absolutely hates being confined inside her family's compound on the pioneer planet of Sphinx, a frontier wilderness world populated by dangerous native animals that could easily tear a human to bits and pieces. Yet Stephanie is a young woman determined to make discoveries—and the biggest discovery of all awaits her: an intelligent alien species.
Treecats are creatures that resemble a cross between a bobcat and a lemur (but with six legs and much more deadly claws). Not only are they fully sentient, they are also telepathic, and able to bond with certain gifted humans such as the genetically-enhanced Stephanie. But Stephanie's find, and her first-of-its-kind bond with a treecat, brings on a new torrent of danger. An assortment of highly placed enemies with galactic-sized wealth at stake is determined to make sure that the planet of Sphinx remains entirely in human hands—even if this means the extermination of another thinking species.
The first entry in a new teen series and the origin saga for the incredibly popular, multiple New York Times and USA Today bestselling Honor Harrington adult science fiction adventures. Young Stephanie Harrington is none other than the founder of a pioneering family dynasty that is destined to lead the fight for humanity's freedom in a dangerous galaxy.

Product ReviewHell, I've read the first part a couple of times from the first editions, rather cheeekky charging me to reread. Otherwise the story was clean. Action moved along. How about a notice on the Home Page informing that this is a expansion of the primary story????
RJM, Doc
yes I want back and reread the Home Page for A Beautiful Friendship. Really the question is how many people remember that former story that they have read???
I've personally read over an estimated 1500 Sci-Fi & fictions & Western books and all of the Honor Harrington Series twice and all the Ring of Fire's thru #27.
I've bought most of those books, paperbacks mainly. RJM, DocPosted on
