TAFLAK LYSANDRA

GREAT BOOK. I HAVE 3 OF THE "BRIGHT SUITE" SERIES. I WISH I COULD FIND THE OTHER BOOKS IN THE SERIES

Voyage to the surface of the planet...

Majesty's surface was covered by jungle. Jungle, in some areas, that was six miles DEEP. Nobody had EVER seen what lay at the bottom, not even the natives, the taflak, knew what was under the Sea of Leaves. So when Lysandra and her father, G. Howell Nahuatl (both characters from Tom Paine Maru) are hired to test out a subfoline they don't know what they will find. A Yeti, a lost civilization and the Hooded Seven. Oh my. The first few chapters overlap the last few chapters of BrightSuit MacBear. In fact, both Middle C and Goldberry, characters from BrightSuit MacBear, become major characters in this story. Here is the funny part. When I first red this story years ago I knew nothing about the Confederacy Series or about L. Neil Smith. I enjoyed the story, then years later found The Probability Broach and only now have linked the book to the author. Taflak Lysandra is a adventure story, first and last, set in a different universe. Once again, you could read it as a stand alone, like I did so many years ago, or as part of the greater whole, like I just finished doing.
