    • Příběh z vietnamské války, kdy se americká doktorka setkává v džungli s tajemným Vietnamcem, který ji zasvětí do léčitelského umění. Elizabeth Ann Scarborough pojednává velmi zvláštním způsobem o vietnamské válce. A protože se jí sama zúčastnila, tak i když příběh není autobiografií, povedlo se jí nadmíru přesvědčivě přiblížit hrůzy vietnamské války a její dopady hlavně na civilní obyvatelstvo. Je to kniha, která ukazuje válku i jinak... Jako nezměrné hrdinství obyčejných lidí, kteří v hloubi duše nejsou hrdinové, ale okolnosti je donutí se jimi stát... Kniha by odměněna cenou Nebula 1989.

    • The miraculous and mysterious world of Petaybee was to be investigated. No-one - no-one outside Petaybee, that is - could believe that the planet was a living, breathing sentient entity, that every plant and animal was in symbiotic communication with the spirit of the Petaybean world. Matthew Luzon was one of the investigators, an arrogant, wily, manipulative man who didn't believe there was anything in the universe that couldn't be controlled by hard scientific methods. His plan was to crush Petaybee, strip it of its mineral assets, and subdue or destroy the inhabitants. Major Yanaba Maddock - who had been sent to Petaybee to die, but who now understood its secretive curative powers - with the help of Sean Shongili, Clodagh, and all the gifted ones of Kilcoole, was determined to fight for their world. It was a battle in which every human, every plant, and every secretive telepathic creature - most especially the famous orange felines of Petaybee - was to be put at risk. Luzon was determined to destroy them - whatever the cost.
