Publisher's Note
Stranded on a distant planet that abounds with fertile farmland and towering ore-rich mountains, human colonists appear to be in paradise. But all the native animals--both docile and predatory--communicate by telepathy, projecting images that drive the humans mad. Only Nighthorses, who can form a telepathic bond with their human Riders, stand between civilization and madness. When a flare of human emotion spreads to all the horses, chaos erupts and a Rider is exiled, putting the lives of all in mortal danger.

Book is in fine (unread, remainder mark on top) condition with a fine unclipped dustjacket protected in a Brodart wrapper. An Attractive Copy!

In this perceptive and carefully crafted coming-of-age novel, humans share a remote and arduous world with telepathic fauna who communicate their instincts and desires to receptive colonists. Chief among the beasts that seek out companionship with humans are the nighthorses, who enter into a near-symbiotic relationship with their chosen partners, who become the riders and protectors of the world's isolated villages and the convoys needed to supply them. When Guil Stuart's lover, Aby Dale, is killed while guarding one such convoy, the rider sets out in a frenzy with his nighthorse, Burn, to avenge her death. While townsfolk urge that he be killed, three ostensible friends set out to find and help him, accompanied by novice rider Danny Fisher. A town boy sought out by the nighthorse Cloud, Danny was raised to fear and to hate communion with the beasts, which were reviled by the preachers, and was guided in his adjustment to rider life by the older, rider-bred Stuart. Also following Stuart into the wild is Ancel Harper, an old enemy with an obscure and dangerous grudge. Cherryh never overwhelms the narrative with exposition, skillfully unfolding her society of humans and aliens so that the reader gradually understands past events and present situations.
