Turning Point

Solid start to the series that lays down the basics in this Universe in a coherent manner. Some of the dialogue, social aspects and character actions seemed dated which caused me to feel as if the book had been written far earlier than 1993 (perhaps a very early draft prior DAW's publication?) I like our plucky hero Carrie. Her relationship with the Feline alien Kusac is a little creepy, sort of like soft cat porn, especially when he licks her face! That all said, it is an interesting world and, as the series runs 9 books, I expect it to get better. There's enough here to keep me reading more.
