Search - First Warning : Acorna's Children (Acorna (Hardcover))

------From the dust jacket blurb----
Khorii, daughter of the near-mythic Acorna and her lifemate, Aari, must contend with an overwhelming legacy to forge a path of her own through a universe filled with new adversaries and adventures.
A simple journey home to visit her parents turns into a race against time when Khorii happens upon a derelict spacecraft drifting in space, its crew dead in their seats. But this gruesome discovery is only a dread harbinger -- a deadly plague is spreading across the universe and not even the healing powers of the Linyaari can slow its horrific advance. Khorii, one of the few unaffected by the outbreak, must find the nefarious perpetrators and a cure before the disease consumes all in its path -- including her beloved parents.

This was typical light reading from Anne McCaffrey and Elizabeth Scarbourough. Enjoyable and easy to read. It ended "hanging" for the next installment to follow.

Not as great as the first few in the series, but a great read.
