Description for POWERS THAT BE by Anne McCaffrey and Elizabeth Scarborough: Second Chance Strange things were happening on the icy planet called Petaybee. Unauthorized genetically engineered species had been spotted. Geologic survey teams sent to locate newly detected mineral deposits were either coming up empty-or disappearing altogether. And the locals weren't talking--especially not to the company bent on exploiting the planet. Disabled combat veteran Yanaba Maddock seemed to the company to be the ideal spy: the frailty that made her no further use to the military would be a perfect blind to allow her to get close to the Petaybean natives. But miraculously, with her relocation to the arctic planet came a return of Yana's health and strength. And the more she got to know the people of Petaybee, the more determined she became to protect her new home. For something strange and wonderful truly was happening on Petaybee. Something worth fighting for, or even dying for--but, especially, something worth living for... This is #1 in The Petaybee Trilogy. Show more
