Here is the second entry in a new young-adult series by New York Times best seller David Weber and the prequel to the hugely popular Honor Harrington adult science-fiction saga.
Fire in the forest – and a cry for help from a trapped and desperate alien mother! Unfortunately, this is one cry no human can hear. Stephanie Harrington, precocious 14-year-old Provisional Forest Ranger on the planet Sphinx, knows something is wrong from the uneasy emotion that is flooding into her from her treecat friend, Climbs Quickly. But though Stephanie’s alien comrade shares a tight bond with his two-legs, whom he knows as Death Fang’s Bane, he cannot communicate directly to her the anguished call from one of his people. Still, their strong and direct bond of feeling may be enough. Stephanie and fellow ranger Karl Zivonik respond to Climbs Quickly’s rising waves of distress.
Fire season on the pioneer world of Sphinx has begun. But there are those who want to use the natural cycle of the planet for personal gain – and to get rid of the one obstacle that stands in the way of acquiring even greater land and power on Spinx: the native treecats.
Now it's up to Stephanie and Climbs Quickly, along with their friends, family, and allies, to prevent disaster and injustice from befalling a treecat clan. But in the process, Stephanie must be certain to preserve the greatest secret all. It is the knowledge that the treecats of Sphinx are not merely pets or servants, but are highly intelligent in their own right – that they are a species fully deserving of rights, respect, and freedom. And keeping the secret that will allow the treecats time to develop a mutually beneficial relationship with humankind all begins with the friendship of a girl and her treecat.

This second in a trilogy brings us to a now 15 year old Stephanie who is still unable to communicate with 'her' tree car, Climbs Quickly/Lionheart and who is feeling the first stirrings of female affection towards a newcomer to Sphinx.
As you might gather from the title, it's Fire Season on the planet and a team of Xeno-investigators who have come to determine if the tree cats are actually sentient do dumb human things and get caught in the path of a fire.
Riding to the rescue, Stephanie and Climbs Quickly (aka Death Fang's Bane & Lionheart) stop to rescue some more tree cats in route to mapping the fire wherein Stephanies new object of affection is about to be trapped.
For the target audience (I bought it for my 8 year old grand daughter) it's a great listen. She's listening to the first book now and loves it..is excited that there are more for her to look forward to.
Again a couple of parts where a tender hearted child might become afraid for the tree cat in danger but nothing as gory as the hexa-puma attack in the first book.
Kristine Hvan is an excellent narrator-I love her work. The story moves along quickly and Hvan gives voices to the tree cats with feeling and brings them to life.
Great for pre teens/young teens, interesting for adults who like to know what their youngsters are going to hear.
Recommended for the audience intended.

Of course, given the target audience, there's less depth and complexity to the story, but it's a fun ride and an easy listen. I recommend!
Excellent for youth and adult!
