Summary: Acclaimed hard-SF author Linda Nagata introduces a new world: a human colony whose people have forgotten their past, on a tremendous structure that forms a great ring around the sun . . . where the sky is bisected by an arch of light and the mysterious "silver" rises from the ground each night to completely transform the landscape-and erase from existence anything it touches.
Young Jubilee is devastated when her brother Jolly is caught and taken by the silver. But when a forbidding stranger with the incredible power to control the silver comes seeking Jolly-and claiming that Jolly knows him-Jubilee first distrusts the man, then fears him and flees. For she has learned an impossible secret: Jolly may still be alive . . . and may somehow become the catalyst for the annihilation of everything she knows if she does not find him first.
Jubilee's flight will lead her to discoveries she could never have imagined, from the secret history of her civilization and her people's origins to the true nature of the silver, to the awesome forgotten memories within her. And with these she will forever alter her world's future . . . unless the dark stranger, relentless in his pursuit, achieves his goal of destroying it. One way or another, Jubilee's final confrontation will change everything . . . .

Summary: Beast Master's Circus is the fourth novel in the Beast Master series, following Beast Master's Ark. In the previous volume, the Ark came to Arzor with DNA samples and live animals from the devastated Earth. Storm Hosteen inquires about mates for his team and meets Tani, a genetic engineer and niece of the couple running the Ark. Storm and Tani work together to investigate a mystery called the Death-which-comes-in-the-night and discover that the Xik have brought deadly clicker swarms to Arzor. Together they lead the fight to defeat the Xiks and eradicate the voracious creatures.In this novel, Storm and Tani are presented with the mystery of Laris, a young orphan from the refugee camps who performs in Dedran's Circus. Logan Quade is much taken by the young woman and invites her to the main ranch. Brad Quade also becomes fond of his son's new friend and offers to investigate her past. When Laris agrees, Brad starts sending messages to the camps and other sources to determine her history.Laris is very good with animals and has a special friend of her own, the cat-like Prauo. Laris found Prauo as a bedraggled kitten on the outskirts of a spaceport. Laris took him back to the circus, fed and sheltered him, and he grew rather large. Laris and Prauo gradually developed the ability to communicate emotions and images and lately have been able to see with each other's eyes, but they have also been able to exchange thoughts since Prauo's last growth spurt.Jas Cregan is an animal trainer with the circus. A former beast master, he has been damaged somehow so that he can no longer link with the animals. He is not quite sane and blames the other beast masters for his problems. Dedran is using him to acquire the enhanced animals from beast master teams, but the animals always die when separated from their masters. Now Dedran is after the enhanced animals partnered with Storm and Tani.This story depicts a young woman in a moral and legal quandary. She has signed a bond of indenture as Dedran's servant to get out of the refugee camp. Although she was underage at the time, Laris knows that Dedran can use his contacts in the Thieves Guild to counteract any legal complaints that she might pursue. Moreover, Dedran would certainly take Prauo away from her. Nonetheless, Laris risks all to try to help Storm and Tani.The story follows the customary style of this author's science fiction, involving young persons and their symbiotic partners in a fight to gain liberty from an oppressive social situation. It slowly reveals the backstory of Laris and Cregan. In addition, the story reveals more about Bright Sky, Tani's father and a Cheyenne beast master, and his defense of Trastor against the Xiks.Highly recommended for Norton & McConchie fans and for anyone else who enjoys tales of determined young persons linked with clever, and sometimes sapient, animals.-Arthur W. Jordin
