Kris Bjornsen has come a long way since alien slave ships scooped her up in Denver with thousands of others. Dropped off on an apparently uninhabited world with the rest, she has fallen in love with Zainal, a renegade Catteni, and made a comfortable life for herself and her new family. But she feels a soldier's duty to escape Botany and rejoin the struggle for freedom.
As the Eosi overlords continue to drop captives on Botany, the colonists learn that there are freedom fighters on every captured world, and Earth is full of pockets of resistance. There are even rebels among the warlike Catteni. Now the colonists have the technology they need to go back to war with the deadly Eosi—with a surprise strike at the enslaved planet Earth itself!

"I really like the concept of the Farmers who protect them until they are free. The Farmers will not let them harm other's and they try to keep open minded ness about the different species. I missed the second book so need to find it as I want to know more about them." — Kat (5 out of 5 stars)

“McCaffrey continues to amaze with her ability to create disparate, well-realized worlds and to portray believable humans, convincing aliens of varied sorts, and credible interactions between them all.”
" It's been a long time since I read this one but I do remember it being pretty good. I submerged myself into the Freedom series though. "
" A bit more interesting than the first two, as the colonists of Botany use their acquired ships for trips to Catten & Earth and ultimately to overthrow the Eosi. "
" This and the two earlier in the series were obviously the only books available to me at the time. All three are truly awful. "
" Liked everything but the drunken sex part, for a leader of the colony who is supposedly in live with her mate she sleeps around too easily. "
" Loved it! Can't wait to pick up the next book! I don't know why everyone else hates it? This is the 3r time I've read this series and I find new details every time. "
" Unfortunately, I'm disliking the writing in the series more as I reread it. Still like the characters enough to continue, plus my natural impulse is to finish a book once I've started! "
" I enjoyed the first two books in this series so much that I flew through them, but this one just kind of stopped me cold. Can't place my finger on just what bothered me about the story though so I'll still recommend it. "
" Called a space opera...good word. "
" Not her best series, but I still had to read them all. A bit dry. "
" this book is cool, if you don't mind a alien book. a girl that falls in love with a cati. WOW. and goes on weird an awsome adventures! trust me if you like this than you should read it! "
" A decent ending to the trilogy (or as it turns out there were 4?), but a significant step down in the excitement that the first two stories had to offer. The characters seemed to change substantially, which was confusing. "
" I lost the thread of the narrative by this point and, even though I've read it several times I can't really recall the action. "
" The colony is free, the Cattine are rebelling from their over masters how can the human race and their new allies remain free. "
" Ok - so not her best series - I really didn't mind this book, it wasn't great, it wasn't horrible, it just kind of was. The story moved along enough that I wanted to finish it. "
