Gah, this has so much going for it except for not being finished which is a CRIME I tell you. A CRIME.

First Contact novels. Carrie is a human girl on a colony planet that has been subjugated by an alien race and her twin sister Elise is a member of the resistance. Elise can get away with fighting the Valtegans because their telepathic link means that Carrie suffers the pain of any wounds.

Potential allies exist in the form of the Sholans who are searching for the people who attacked and destroyed two of their colonies. When Elise is killed, Carrie nearly dies but is saved when her mental link is to Elise is replaced by a mental contact with Kusac, a telepathic Sholan.

Just wanted to point out, since I found this while searching for any forums/postings from people who have read it, that Lisanne Norman's newest Sholan Alliance book is finally out. First one since 2003, but it's also the second-to-last and from what I've read so far wraps up a lot of stuff.

So, happy reading!
