Mccaffrey Anne Ordre des livres (chronologique)
Anne McCaffrey fut une pionnière célébrée pour ses romans de science-fiction visionnaires. Elle lança sa carrière d'écrivaine en signe de protestation contre les représentations irréalistes des femmes dans la science-fiction des années 1950 et 1960, posant ainsi les bases de ses succès ultérieurs. Sa maîtrise narrative brille véritablement dans ses vastes sagas, où elle tisse habilement des thèmes et construit des mondes captivants. McCaffrey a laissé une marque indélébile dans le genre de la science-fiction.
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.
