Product Description:
When two award-winning science-fiction masters like Anne McCaffrey and Elizabeth Ann Scarborough collaborate, the results are astonishing. Their master creation is Petaybee, a sentient planet able to guide its own evolution and, with some help from its loyal inhabitants, defend itself against predation by offworlders. Now, at last, McCaffrey and Scarborough return to Petaybee for the thrilling conclusion of the Twins of Petaybee trilogy, the sixth novel of the amazing self-aware world.
DELUGE
InterGal Corporation has long desired to exploit the resource-rich Petaybee. But the planet and its guardians, led by Yana Maddock and Sean Shongili, along with their twin children, Ronan and Murel, have successfully thwarted every endeavor by the Corporation to impose its iron-fisted dominion.
Until now.
In a bold two-pronged assault, the predacious Corporation has arrested Petaybee’s leading off-world champion, Marmion de Revers Algemeine, on trumped-up charges, while InterGal’s military arm has dispatched an invading force to subdue the planet once and for all. Marmion has allies within the Corporation who can halt the invasion. but if they cannot be found quickly, it will be too late for Marmion . . . and Petaybee.
While their parents work to foil the invasion of their world, Ronan and Murel are captured and sent to a desolate prison world where an old enemy, Dr. Mabo, waits to continue her cruel experiments on the shape-changing siblings. The twins’ only hope of escape lies in the uncharted seas of the prison planet. But in the murky depths, something else is waiting. . . .

Enjoyed the book very much. You need to read the 1st and 2nd book very first the really understand everything.

This is a fun and exciting conclusion to the series. The Ladies work so well together and write tight characters with sharp plot line.

The Petaybee books were my favorite Anne McCaffrey series, and Elizabeth Ann Scarborough is a great writer too. I was really looking forward to this book...and it fell flat.
The second book (Maelstorm) didn't have a tidy finish, instead promising much for the subsequent one. Which is fine, as long as it can deliver. But it didn't. Deluge has a two-part climax: the very first is deus-ex-machina and over almost before you've realized it's starting, and relies on incredible coincidences. The second is a fake-out. It's basically "But there's another problem...never mind." And is solved in an abbreviated, over-used, and, as presented, completely unbelievable way.
And then the book's over, and I'm left wondering what went wrong.
Still, if I hadn't been expecting so much, it would probably have been more enjoyable. I loved the cat.

Item arrived on time in good condition. Actually, the whole series is really for children, but since I like McCaffrey I have read all three and invariably got rather bored. Simplistic writing, not enough suspense or action. The river seal is a good gripping character. I do not recommend for anyone 20 years old or older.
