I bumped into this by accident in the library, and since McCaffrey died I’d been meaning to read something by her, and the blurb looked to be promising SF with a dash of romance I decided to take the entire series with me on Christmas break. I’m so glad I did, because I really liked this first book.

I’m so glad I did, because I really liked this first book.
It dives right in when Kris an escaped human slave on a strange planet, encounters Zainal, a Catteni (the aliens who invaded Earth and took a bunch of humans off-planet as slaves), who is on the run himself. Figuring that a common enemy makes them some sort of allies, she saves his hide, which gets her captured again and dropped on Botany, a planet version of penitary colony. Thus commences a tale of settling a new planet, organizing the humans and various kinds of other aliens, and figuring out who the original owners of the planet were.
I like planet settling stories, and I’m definitely planning on reading more. There’s something about surviving under harsh circumstances that’s really interesting and intriguing. I really liked that we got to see the settling and organizing through the eyes of Kris, who isn’t a leader. She’s very capable and definitely an important member of the original droppers, but she doesn’t have a position of power.
I liked how very unbigoted Kris was, and how ready to defend Zainal and the other non-humans. I loved that she kept chastising herself for her horniness. I liked the pace of the romance as well , and found it very fitting that it didn’t take the forefront for a long time.
There were a lot of touches that seemed very realistic to me, like the dietary problems of the Deski’s, the few untasteful troublemakers, the threat of abuse towards women when there were only few of them. I did think that the settling seemed to go almost too easy, and that the few troubles they had didn’t seem all that unsettling. But then the fact that they are dropped with materials is part of the Catteni plot, and the fact that they aren’t the first settlers is part of the Botany plot, so at least the easiness of it all is explained.
All in all I was pleasantly surprised, and definitely want to read the second installment right away. There’s about a million ways this can go, and currently all of them seem interesting.

I've read most of what Anne McCaffrey has written, and find most of it thoroughly enjoyable fluff that I have re-read anywhere from several to many times, because it's quick, and it's like having a coffee with an old friend. I read the first three books of this series quite some time ago, and haven't touched them since. However, recently, I decided to read the fourth book, but if I was going to do that, I'd have to re-read the first three, since I barely remember them. And who knew? Maybe at thi I've read most of what Anne McCaffrey has written, and find most of it thoroughly enjoyable fluff that I have re-read anywhere from several to many times, because it's quick, and it's like having a coffee with an old friend. I read the first three books of this series quite some time ago, and haven't touched them since. However, recently, I decided to read the fourth book, but if I was going to do that, I'd have to re-read the first three, since I barely remember them. And who knew? Maybe at this later stage in my life, I'd get more out of them.

Not so much. And initially, I couldn't put my finger on why not. Kris, as a heroine, is pretty awesome. She's everything we'd all like to hope/pretend we'd be if we too were captured, enslaved, and then dumped unceremoniously on a foreign planet -- she's smart, resourceful, self-sufficient, cool under pressure and unfazed by the sight of dreadful injuries, she's generous and considerate of others, she's physically strong, and brave, and to top all that off, she looks like a supermodel. And then I realized that's kind of the problem. McCaffrey's other heroines are also fairly awesome, but they're flawed. Lessa is awesome, with many of those same characteristics, but she has a hell of a temper, and, for the first while, at least, carries a chip on her shoulder bigger than she is about her family's ancestral holding. Killashandra is pretty awesome, but is a little impulsive, and as a result of the crystal singing, can be a bit of a bit, and suffers memory loss. The Rowan is pretty awesome, but is rather haughty and has phobias. Kris is... pretty much a Norse goddess of perfection. OK, not strictly true. She has some irritating quirks, like her constant correction of Zainal's grammar, and her irritating modesty. (Seriously. It bugs me to compare anything unfavourably to Twilight, but at least there, Stephenie Meyer managed to create a character who is obviously hot, and obviously attracting a lot of male attention, but who is believably unaware of that until pretty much actually beaten over the head with it. Mainly because she's stupidly oblivious, but whatever. Kris, on the other hand, is well aware of the male attention. She full-knowingly rebuffs the advances of at least three men, gets comments from others, and is generally presented as being perfectly aware of the effect she has on men. And yet later, we're expected to believe that she's "never thought of herself as sexy, or particularly attractive," or whatever the exact words are. Please.) Anyway, these aren't really character traits that make her more human; they're just little behaviours that make her annoying. And Zainal too, awesome as he is (who doesn't love a gentle giant?), is also pretty much just a caricature of perfection. It just makes their whole story less than engaging.

And not really much actually happens in this book, to take attention away from the less-than-stellar characters. You would think stuff would happen, but things mostly progress fairly smoothly. They have to contend with the scavenger beasties, but figure out quite quickly how to avoid/dissuade them. They have a brief encounter with an abattoir, but they get out of that fairly easily, and effect a not-very-dramatic rescue of some other people there while they're at it. They find this mystery of who made all the machines on this planet, but thus far, there's not much threat from them, and they don't solve the mystery in this installment. The closest thing they have to a real, life-threatening challenge is the nutritional requirements of one of the alien races, and frankly, watching them try various plants to try and fix the lack is just not that exciting. The solution to it is slightly deus ex machina, too.

I have other minor complaints about grammatical issues, consistency issues, and the like, but I'm not even going to bother getting into those. Basically, the whole thing is just set up for the following books, but I'm a little surprised anyone was interested enough to publish the subsequent ones. Although I will finish the series, thus far, I remain as uncaptivated by this story as I did the first time I read it. ...more

I don't know if this is crap McCaffrey or if McCaffrey is crap.
Let's see if I can sum up in 10 points:
10. The characters are stereotypes (Sarge, who lacked only a cigar to chew on); strong silent male love interest; attractive, outgoing female lead; wince-worthy black character (the happy cook who talks like he's about whip on a do-rag and call all the white folks "massa baas"); helpless, eye-batting female sidekick; male creeper (helpfully named "Dick"). This is more or less the cast of charact I don't know if this is crap McCaffrey or if McCaffrey is crap.

This is more or less the cast of characters for The Poseidon Adventure or Towering Inferno. I kept expecting Troy McClure to pop up.
9. Crazily competent survivors ... cast out with a hatchet, cup, blanket and knife each and within a couple of weeks they are smelting ore. There's an internal conflict here for the author, who apparently wanted to write an up-from-the-ashes tale without really considering what it might entail. And if you accept it, it makes more "believable" the concept that the survivors could actually challenge a species with terraformed planets and spaceships the size of a small city.
8. Boring aliens. Turns out that almost all alien species are more or less humanoid. Handy. And the exceptions (six-legged cows, bird-things and Not-Sandworms) are dull and nonsentient.
7. Derivative aliens. The spacefaring cat-people from Wing Commander (a huge hit videogame when McCaffery was writing this) and the Not-Sandworms. Hmm, sandworms are attracted to vibration and hate water. The underground species in this book are repelled by vibration and love water. How original. Even the faceless overlords are a cliche.
6. Packaged as a novel, but ends with none of the major plot lines close to resolution. I picked this up to see if I liked McCaffery w/out committing to the Dragonrider series, so at least I don't have to worry about reading that now.
5. Plot holes you could drive one of those big spaceships through. Like the idea a master race would survey an entirely terraformed farming planet with geometrically regular fields, enormous supply and harvesting operations and never notice.
4. Everything about the novel, from the military hierarchy to ~~Aunt Jemima~~ Bert the Cook, had been explored to death in sci-fi by 1955. This book was 40 years behind the times when it was written.
3. McCaffrey's ludicrous obsession w/ the size of Catman's member. A male author spending equal time on the size of the female love interest's chest would get (rightfully) shouted down. Overall the romance had all the sophistication of a cheap bodice-ripper.
2. Ham-handed foreshadowing. (view spoiler)
1. The ending.(view spoiler) Hahahahaha! I saw that one on the BCTV late-late show in 1973! ...more

I'm a bit biased. I loved Anne McCaffrey's "Pern" novels as a kid. A year or so ago, I discovered that McCaffrey was not an obscure, one-series author hidden in the corner of the bookstore as I once thought. When I started reading her work again, I realized how much her books had influenced my tastes- all those wonderful new planets and creatures I had been craving were because of her!

When I started reading her work again, I realized how much her books had influenced my tastes- all those wonderful new planets and creatures I had been craving were because of her!

Onto this one. I haven't finished this series yet but if this first book is anything to go on, it's looking to become a regular favorite of mine. I loved, loved, loved this. I read it in less than a day, staying up until 6 in the morning with the voraciousness for the story I have rarely had since I was a child.
The protagonist, Kris, is incredibly likable and capable. She has strength, a sharp wit, an unironic and unannoying optimism, and a practicality that makes her incredibly enjoyable to read. McCaffrey has done a fantastic job writing a relatable and capable character, treating her with the respect I have for my strong female friends. So often authors write strong women to be bitter or hostile- or worse, write female protagonists who constantly run to their better and more developed male counterparts. But Kris is neither and I appreciate that.
Furthermore, as someone who 99% of the time can't stand romantic subplots, McCaffrey has written one that I was absolutely giddy about. It's slow and real hot and respectful and it makes SENSE. Genuinely- I mean, I have never been able to sit through Rom Coms and I can't stand the shallow, adolescent, codependence that most fantasy and sci-fi novels include in their romantic subplots. This book though? I was basically whooping and hollering as the romance developed. Somehow Anne has written my dream boyfriend and he's a six and a half foot tall gray alien. No wonder I'm not dating anyone right now. Who could measure up?
A small but delightful detail- McCaffrey's colloquialisms and folksy phrases are so fun to read. Many of them were unfamiliar to me (and I'm born and raised Midwestern, so where she picked these up I don't know!) and at times I felt like the aliens trying to pick up English- but it was all fun and I'm definitely going to be incorporating some of this weird ass slang into my lexicon. Hell's bells! I'd give my eyetooth to talk like this!

Anyways, I love this book and I can't wait to read the next one. I got this from the library but you best believe I'm going to be buying copies right and left. This is a book I'm going to read and reread until the binding breaks. ...more

Maltreated and abused as she was, she drew the line at being a bedmate for her master so she ran away, flying the air ship and hiding out in the jungles of the alien planet, far away from starvation and the metal whips the overlords used on their slaves. She spent six months minding her own business, learning to survive on what the local fauna ate and drinking fresh water straight from the river that split the valley in half. She was alone, but she was free.

Until the day an air craft, chased by other Catteni, crashed into her jungle and blew her solitude all to bits. When she found the survivor of the attack and subsequent crash, she discovered he was as Catteni as they come, but her sense of right and wrong wouldn't let him die in the jungle or get captured by those who were pursuing him. She took him in, cared for his cuts and bruises as best she could and would have been happy to let him go, until he decided he wanted take more than she was willing to offer. Catteni or not, she didn't want him in her jungle and decided to dump him back in the city they had both escaped from. It was a good plan too, until they both got caught up in the gassed riots and ended up on an interstellar ship to the back end of nowhere with little more than the clothes on their backs.

Now stranded on a penal planet, dumped along with thousands of other humans and aliens alike, Kris decides she had better keep an eye out for the Catteni named Zainal, for he was certain to end up killed by any number of human or alien who hated his Catteni guts. As the survivors gather together, they learn pretty quickly that the planet that their overlords believed to be empty is in fact full of many deadly dangers, and many from mechanical farmers that harvest the planet for an even greater, unknown alien race, more technically advanced and possibly more powerful than any of the known alien races combined.

And Kris and Zainal end up smack bang in the middle of it all.

I enjoyed Freedom's Landing, although it was a little slow in placed. The first The Catteni Sequence, a series of four books by Anne McCaffrey, it tells a story of how a race of beings have to work together to survive on a planet with only meager equipment the resources the planet has to offer.

Perfect for the boy scout or the girl guide who love action and adventure with a little bit of romance thrown in for good measure.

I gave the book four stars out of five as I think it was a little slow in places and I found the main character needed a bit more depth to her life and emotions.
