Fire Season

In the second entry of the young-adult series by David Weber, 14-year-old Provisional Forest Ranger Stephanie Harrington teams up with her treecat friend, Climbs Quickly, to uncover a distress call from a trapped alien mother. Set against the backdrop of fire season on the planet Sphinx, Stephanie and her allies must confront those seeking to exploit the planet's natural cycles for personal gain, putting the native treecat population at risk. As they navigate this urgent challenge, Stephanie strives to preserve the critical secret of the treecats' intelligence and their right to freedom, all while strengthening the bond with her friend.
