Shadow Singer

Ni-Lach #2

by Marcia J. Bennett

Humans had long shared the planet Ver-draak with the Ni-lach people -- until, in fear of the unusual Ni-lach powers, they turned on the natives. The Ni-lach who survived the massacres went into hiding. Decades passed. Pursued by bounty hunters, Dhalvad the Ni-lach and Poco the half-breed fled into the wilds. Though Poco didn't know it, she had a special Ni-lach talent, similar to Dhal's abilities to Heal and to transport himself through space and time. But somehow she had to learn to use her gift -- for the fate of all the Ni-lach people hung in the balance.

Reviews

[Judah]

Giving this one (and the rest of the series) 4 stars, based solely on the wonder they gifted me when I first read them, almost 30 years ago. I'd be curious to re-read them, and see what I think nowadays....and may do just that.

Dhalvad the Ni-lach and Poco the half-breed flee to the wilds pursued by bounty hunters to search for a hidden city.

[Liz]

This is technically young adults sci-fi but I've always loved it. A bit hard to get at this point.

[SciFiOne]

Grade B-. Book Nl2.

Giving this four stars because I loved it as a kid. I'm curious to see how well it holds up in a re-read, but the book is almost as old as I am, so I'm kind of afraid I'll spoil the fond memory.

Very good book, however I related better to the first one.
