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.

Possibly worked from her backstory notes? I suppose I can't fault writers for using them, but sometimes a story seems so clearly a barely fleshed out outline that I wish they'd hide the notes, write the story, and then LATER use the notes to fill in anything they missed. Ah, well.
