I grew up on Andre Norton and was really looking forward to reading some new ones. I was very disappointed by this book, and the others I ordered with Sherwood Smith. They are terrible. They are so consciously PC that they border on the idiotic (frontier traders constantly finding themselves in life-threatening situations that don't carry weapons?), the characters are completely out of character, and the excitement of exploring the unknown has been replaced by the melodrama of the soap opera.
