Reviews

Star Rider is an excellent story about an indomitable young woman in a far future world where humans can travel about the universe at will with their evolved cousins, mounts (dogs). Some humans still believe in power-over and "artifacts" (things made) as opposed to freedom. This is an excellent book!
