Description

Newbery Honor-winning author Sylvia Louise Engdahl continues Elena's saga in this stunning companion to Enchantress from the Stars.

Elana, newly graduated from the Federation Anthropological Service Academy, is sent immediately into danger on the planet Toris—a world poised on the brink of nuclear war. She is ordered to merely observe, and must not reveal her alien origin or interfere with the planet's natural course of evolution. But how can she stand by and watch? Her fellow agent, Randil, is not properly trained to work in the field, and his compassion for the Torisians may lead him to intervene. Yet his very actions may bring about the holocaust that he is so desperately trying to prevent. Elana must make a crucial decision: side with a renegade agent, or stop him at any cost . . .


"[A] surprising, haunting, poetic book."—Commonweal Magazine

Although she is best known as an author for Young Adults, her most recent novels, the Founders of Maclairn duology (Stewards of the FlameandPromise of the Flame) and the Captain of Estel trilogy (Defender of the Flame,Herald of the Flame,andEnvoy of the Flame) are adult science fiction and are not appropriate for readers below high school age.

Most of the nonfiction books listed under her name were edited, rather than written, by her as a freelance editor of anthologies for high schools.Engdahl says, "I never listed more than a few of the books I read here and now the list is so outdated that i have removed all but a very few that are still among my favorites, plus ebooks I produced for my mother and for my friend Shirley Rousseau Murphy. For current lists of good books on the subjects I care about, please visit the Opinion section of my website."
