Has anyone read her "Freedom" series? It is pretty recent (I think the fourth book was released just last year) and quite a departure from the Pern novels. I have read the first three books in the series and really enjoyed them. Instead of dragonriders and singing ships, the Freedom series is about alien invasions, colonial survival on an alien planet, and a fight for liberation. Much more sci-fi than fantasy. I would agree that her earlier stuff was her best, but I think she can still tell a good story when she isn't trying to stretch the Pern world farther than it should ever have gone. Has anyone read "Pegasus in Space" and the related series? I saw those at the bookstore recently and wasn't sure if I was up for giving them a try or not. I believe some of the books in the series were written a number of years ago and then she released "Pegasus in Space" as a follow-up recently. Does anyone have a recommendation one way or the other?
