This was a good book introducing me to the character Acorna. I liked how Calum, Gill and Rafik learned about her powers and how Acorna and her friends made a difference on Kezdet. I look forward to reading the next book in the series, Acorna's Quest.

A young unicorn-like human infant is discovered in a survival pod by three independent space miners. Anna Fields, as always, vividly portrays a wide range of characters with great facility. Their distinct personalities are clearly reflected in their speech patterns and inflections. Fields conveys the strong emotion that runs through the book. The deeper modulations are a little murky at times, but Fields's clear articulation still comes through. A sequel, ACORNA'S QUEST, continues the story.

Book Description
Three space miners, Gill, Calum, and Rafik, find a survival pod drifting in space: inside sleeps Acorna, a furry, unicorn-like humanoid infant. Young Acorna soon manifests special powers such as the ability to purify water and air, to make plants grow and to heal injuries. When Acorna is almost snatched by scientists who want to study her as an anomaly, the miners must flee and whisk Acorna away to the planet Kezdet, a planet known to deal in child slave labor, and the last place they wanted to go.

I am one of Ms. McCaffrey's most loyal fans, but this book is just plain insipid.

I really enjoyed this book and will be getting the rest of the series so I can find out what happens!!

This was my first real read in the sci-fi genre... I really enjoyed it...even if it was a bit predictable.

Good story, I prefer fantasy to sci-fi; this book was a little heavy on the science fiction for me.

The three rough and tumble space miners who found her couldn't explain where her perfect little unicorn horn came from or why she had hooves instead of feet and hands, but they loved the little girl they named Acorna and protected her all the same. Soon they learn what secret powers their waif possesses and the stakes are even higher! How will she deal with the secrets held by the planet Kezdet? For surely her special talents will come in handy.

A new series by Anne McCaffrey, writing with Margaret Ball.

Interesting plotline with likable characters, though Acorna, herself is portrayed somewhat one-dimensionally.

An interesting new Universe from McCaffrey.

She was just a little girl, with a tiny horn in the center of her forehead, funny-looking feet, beautiful silver hair, and several curious powers; the ability to purify air and water, make plants grow, and heal scars and broken bones.

a pleasant commuting-type read; ok without being memorable.

Hubby said this book is EXCELLENT. I just finished and also liked it; I'm on to Acorna's Quest next.
