The first in the "Catteni" sequence. When the alien race of Catteni invaded Earth, they forced thousands of humans into their spaceships, and transported them to an eerie and seemingly uninhabited planet. But it was not as empty as it seemed. McCaffrey has won both the Hugo and Nebula awards.
Anne McCaffrey captured the interest and hearts of many with Freedom's Landing as Catteni slaves unexpectedly became settlers establishing a new colony on Botany, presumably an uninhabited M-type planet. In Freedom's Choice the saga progresses to an extraordinary level. The shipments of Catteni slaves continue, but they find that they are enjoyably reinventing the creature comforts of home, and searching for the origin of the Farmers who were the original occupants of Botany, all under the keen eyes of two very different observers. When scouts for the Emassi come to retrieve Zainal, shanghaied in the original shipment of slaves, Botany changes irrevocably. Listeners will delight in this continued adventure of survival, romance, and ingenuity.
In the third "Catteni" novel, the people of Botany are protected by an impervious bubble but face ongoing threats from monstrous Eosi ships. They devise a plan to eliminate the Eosi for good.
The inhabitants of the penal planet Botany had fought a grim and dangerous war to free themselves from their Eosi overlords.
