Title: Read this BEFORE you read Thendara House.
Review: For the simple fact that Thendara House has Magda Lorne. And her parents figure prominently in this novel.It's a good novel in that it demonstrates the problem of a First Contact protocol, and mistakes that humans will make. Especially when encountering 'long lost colonies'. Leonie Hastur (when young, as opposed to the ancient one in the Forbidden Tower cycle), figures prominently. As do David and Elizabeth Lorne (Magda's parents).Perhaps the most arrogant thing that the Terranan (us humans) make- is the complete lack of objectivity when it comes to dismissing the notion of telepathy.I admit that I tend to view and read novels with a military background and/or Star Trek protocol. It is well that the Terran Empire has not encountered any Alien Empires of an equal or near so tech level. As the humans would blunder in and spark a war.
