'Nother book

[msmemory_archive]

29. Rediscovery. Marion Zimmer Bradley and Mercedes Lackey.
Mediocre book about the Terrans' second landing on Cottman IV. A few strong scenes connected by lame dialogue and dull scenes. Throughout, I had the feeling that MZB and ML were carefully setting up the known later pieces of the Darkover series, such as Margali's background. They didn't have a new story to tell, which was a shame.

Luckily, I bought it second-hand, so didn't waste much money on it.

so true

I was very disappointed by that book as so many others in the series were phenominal. It was, however, written during the first of MZB's major illnesses leading to her sad demise.

I didn't check the publication order - was this the first of the MZB "with" books of the Darkover series?
