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 ReviewI enjoyed this book and it's exactly what it's purported to be, which is a book for young adults. David Weber's style has for quite some time been about the minutiae surrounding his plots, and being aware of that I accept it and enjoy his books for what they are. Most especially I enjoyed reading about young Ms Stephanie Harrington's life after her all too close encounter with the Hexapuma.

Product ReviewWhy is that an ARC. The first story at least is old! What about sample chapters of the second story?

Product ReviewSTOP! The sample chapters are the first half of a story previously published. I have no desire to pay $15.00 for something I've already bought. Very bad move on your part, Baen and Weber!

Product ReviewIt's a good story, but in chapter 19 I started wondering how many YAs are going to keep reading while Weber drones on about Manticoran politics. His editors need to reign him in...have needed to ever since Honor returned from Hades.
