Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
In Changelings, bestselling authors Anne McCaffrey and Elizabeth Ann Scarborough returned to the sentient planet Petaybee with a story of growth and transformation in the face of deadly new threats. The telepathic, shapeshifting twins Murel and Ronan found that Petaybee had plans for them as well. Now those plans begin to bear fruit with fresh possibilities . . . and dangers.
MAELSTROM
Now that Petaybee is forming a new equatorial island, the planet has agreed to harbor a group of new refugees, workers indentured to the powerful InterGal Corporation. But the mission to collect the immigrants becomes a rescue operation when it is revealed that InterGal is doing nothing to help these survivors of a world devastated by a meteor shower. Murel and Ronan set out to persuade the frightened refugees to come out of hiding, leave their world, and bring along their sacred totem animals, the gifted sea turtles called the Honus. But the twins discover that they’ve taken on more than they expected: The Honus are not the only animals sacred to the refugees. There are also the Manos, intelligent sharks who have lost none of their predatory habits–and who cannot be left behind to die.
When the Manos are released into Petaybee’s waters, a tragic misunderstanding endangers the whole resettlement operation. At the same time, the mysterious sea otters who once rescued the twins’ father are suddenly revealed to be much more than they appear to be.
Now it is up to Ronan and Murel, with the intrepid assistance of their river otter friend Sky, to smooth the waters before a maelstrom of revenge destroys Petaybee’s harmonious way of life.
But even as the twins uncover startling new facts about Petaybee’s past that will change everything they thought they knew about the planet, the forces of InterGal are gathering, preparing to strike. . . .

Good story. I always liked the "Petaybee" storyline. However, this is most definitely more geared towards a younger audience; age range would be more around 9 to 13. I appreciate Elizabeth Ann Scarborough's assistance to Ms. McCaffrey to keep this storyline alive.
I'm hoping that the subsequent one of this series is more geared to a little older audience as the twins get older.

This book is the 2nd in the Petaybee twins series. It is well worth having and be warned that you will probably want to have the subsequent book (Deluge) nearby when you finish it.
It flows well from Changelings (the 1st book) and the characters are full and clear. As always Anne McCaffrey and Elizabeth Ann Scarborough marry well in their writing and this series continues to be a very enjoyable read.

The McCaffrey/Scarbourough partnership has produced another quick read in the Power That Be cycle of books with Maelstom, second in their new trilogy. If all you want is to continue reading of the adventures of the twins of Petaybee, revisting a familiar universe and no challenges, read this book. If you want to have your perceptions of the world shaken - go and find some harder sci-fi. What you have here is a cosy kitchen sink drama with little real danger. A fine tea/coffee break read. But not something that sticks in the mind long afterwards.

Maelstrom: Book Two of The twins of Petaybee is fun to read. I would advise all who enjoy shape changing stories to read this series.
I love when the children change and become seals. It is interesting that when they become seals they have the same instincts a seal would have. For instance, they use sonar, and want to play and eat fish.
I truly enjoyed this book.

It kept up the pace and the story line as book 1 left off. I really enjoyed it and very much look forward to Book 3.
