Senior co-administrator of the Norcoast Salmon Research Facility, Dr. Mackenzie Connor, Mac to her friends and colleagues, was a biologist who wanted nothing more out of life than to study the spawning habits of salmon. And working at Norcoast Base, set in an ideal location just where the Tannu River sped down the west side of the Rocky Mountains to the Pacific coast had been the perfect situation for Mac. Then, just as she and fellow scientist Dr. Emily Mamani were just settling in for the season, their research had been interrupted by the unprecedented arrival of Brymn, the first member of the alien race known as the Dhryn to ever set foot on Earth.

From that moment on everything changed for Mac, for Emily, for Brymn, for the human race, and for the many member races of the Interspecies Union. For the Norcoast Base had been attacked. Em had been kidnapped by the mysterious race known as the Ro, and Mac and Brymn had been forced to flee for their lives to the Dhryn home world.

And what should have been Earth's best hope—an attempt to forge an alliance with the Dhryn against the Ro—had gone horribly wrong. Mac had nearly lost her life on a far-distant dead world in the devastated region of space known as the Chasm. And the peaceful, isolationist Dhryn had abandoned their world, hurtling out on an unfathomable path of destruction through civilized space.

Now the members of the IU are certain that the only hope of stopping the Dhryn is to contact the Ro and ask for their help. But no one knows how to accomplish that.

As the enemy destroys life on planet after planet, following no discernible pattern of attack, the IU takes steps, among them organizing a Social Gathering of every being with information on the Dhryn. Since she possesses unique knowledge and insights, and her friend Em is still with the powerful Ro, Mac is summoned to this Gathering. With the data available to her there and her own specialized knowledge, Mac begins to suspect that the Dhryn may not be the ruthless destroyers they appear to be. Their actions may actually be a response to something simpler and more deadly—the imperative to migrate. But even if Mac is right, discovering why this has happened and how to halt the Dhryn may be impossible. And to add to the difficulties, the IU faces, some of their member races are determined to use this knowledge to their own species' advantage, which the most powerful members of the IU strive to save the transect system itself, regardless of the cost. Then, as they finally seem about to make progress, Mac discovers that the IU is actually on the brink of making a terrible mistake.…]]> 673024 2 327449 book 4 4 2005 Migration (Species Imperative, #2) total:128|5:30|4:67|3:23|2:7|1:1| 128 502 170 14 4005 3.90 1524 195 37833996 779390 673024 0756403464 9780756403461 13 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1177006336m/673024.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1177006336s/673024.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/673024.Migration 3.93 117 Survival, the first novel in her new series, Species Imperative, she drew upon this talent to build races, characters, and a universe which offered readers a magnificent tale of interstellar intrigue, as an Earth scientist was caught up in a terrifying interspecies conflict.

With the data available to her there and her own specialized knowledge, Mac begins to suspect that the Dhryn may not be the ruthless destroyers they appear to be. Their actions may actually be a response to something simpler and more deadly—the imperative to migrate. But even if Mac is right, discovering why this has happened and how to halt the Dhryn may be impossible. And to add to the difficulties, the IU faces, some of their member races are determined to use this knowledge to their own species' advantage, which the most powerful members of the IU strive to save the transect system itself, regardless of the cost.

Senior co-administrator of the Norcoast Salmon Research Facility, Dr. Mackenzie Connor, Mac to her friends and colleagues, was a biologist who wanted nothing more out of life than to study the spawning habits of salmon. And working at Norcoast Base, set in an ideal location just where the Tannu River sped down the west side of the Rocky Mountains to the Pacific coast had been the perfect situation for Mac. Then, just as she and fellow scientist Dr. Emily Mamani were just settling in for the season, their research had been interrupted by the unprecedented arrival of Brymn, the first member of the alien race known as the Dhryn to ever set foot on Earth.

From that moment on everything changed for Mac, for Emily, for Brymn, for the human race, and for the many member races of the Interspecies Union. For the Norcoast Base had been attacked. Em had been kidnapped by the mysterious race known as the Ro, and Mac and Brymn had been forced to flee for their lives to the Dhryn home world.

And what should have been Earth's best hope—an attempt to forge an alliance with the Dhryn against the Ro—had gone horribly wrong. Mac had nearly lost her life on a far-distant dead world in the devastated region of space known as the Chasm. And the peaceful, isolationist Dhryn had abandoned their world, hurtling out on an unfathomable path of destruction through civilized space.

Now the members of the IU are certain that the only hope of stopping the Dhryn is to contact the Ro and ask for their help. But no one knows how to accomplish that.

Then, just as she and fellow scientist Dr. Emily Mamani were just settling in for the season, their research had been interrupted by the unprecedented arrival of Brymn, the first member of the alien race known as the Dhryn to ever set foot on Earth.

From that moment on everything changed for Mac, for Emily, for Brymn, for the human race, and for the many member races of the Interspecies Union. For the Norcoast Base had been attacked. Em had been kidnapped by the mysterious race known as the Ro, and Mac and Brymn had been forced to flee for their lives to the Dhryn home world.

And what should have been Earth's best hope—an attempt to forge an alliance with the Dhryn against the Ro—had gone horribly wrong. Mac had nearly lost her life on a far-distant dead world in the devastated region of space known as the Chasm. And the peaceful, isolationist Dhryn had abandoned their world, hurtling out on an unfathomable path of destruction through civilized space.

Now the members of the IU are certain that the only hope of stopping the Dhryn is to contact the Ro and ask for their help. But no one knows how to accomplish that.

As the enemy destroys life on planet after planet, following no discernible pattern of attack, the IU takes steps, among them organizing a Social Gathering of every being with information on the Dhryn. Since she possesses unique knowledge and insights, and her friend Em is still with the powerful Ro, Mac is summoned to this Gathering. With the data available to her there and her own specialized knowledge, Mac begins to suspect that the Dhryn may not be the ruthless destroyers they appear to be. Their actions may actually be a response to something simpler and more deadly—the imperative to migrate. But even if Mac is right, discovering why this has happened and how to halt the Dhryn may be impossible. And to add to the difficulties, the IU faces, some of their member races are determined to use this knowledge to their own species' advantage, which the most powerful members of the IU strive to save the transect system itself, regardless of the cost. Then, as they finally seem about to make progress, Mac discovers that the IU is actually on the brink of making a terrible mistake.…]]> 2005 0 0 false Sun Nov 22 02:04:57 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 22 02:04:57 -0800 2009 77607049 832410 337020 0756402603 9780756402600 1 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1226980451m/337020.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1226980451s/337020.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/337020.Migration 3.92 128
