Ani, or the care and feeding of your great tree-dwelling venomous tentacled land-devil: A Singularity prequel Kindle Edition

5.0 5.0 out of 5 stars 2 ratings

Watching the hatching of a great tree-dwelling venomous tentacled land-devil has been field-scientist Aran Romeu’s dream for as long as he can remember. And if land-devils are the most dangerous creatures known to humankind, and this whole thing might be a set-up from someone who wants to kill him, and there’s a very good chance neither he nor his research assistant and best friend Istvay will come out of this alive … well, he and Istvay have never let something like that stop them before.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

R.M. Olson writes feel-good space opera featuring diverse casts, found families, and loads of action. R.M. has ridden the Trans Siberian railway, jumped off the highest bungee jump in the world, gone cage-diving with great white sharks, faced down a charging buffalo bull, and knows how to milk a goat. Currently they reside in Alberta, Canada with their four children, three cats, and a dog the size of a small bear. R.M. goes hiking and skiing more often than they probably have time for, eats more chocolate than is probably good for them, and reads more books than is probably prudent.

    What? Did you want me to just leave the baby [bloodsucking, acid-spitting, color-changing, most-dangerous-creature-in-the-galaxy] to die?

    There are naturalists who care about their work, and then there is Aran.

    Aran climbs ice-covered cliff-faces to prove that there is another species of violet snow toads. Aran wanders the southern Rim Mountains looking for sea spines and prarie snouts and doesn't mind when he runs into a nest of spitting vipers. Like the best naturalists, Aran is high on enthusiasm and low on caution.

    And so, when he finds out that the eggs of the mysterious great tree-dwelling venomous tentacled land-devils of the Joias system are about to hatch, Aran doesn't sigh and say that it's too bad they can't go observe because travel to the Joias system is highly restricted, or because the mere thought of space-flight makes him hyperventilate, or because one of his colleagues is probably trying to kill him, or even because land-devils are the most deadly creatures ever encountered by humans and pretty much everyone who has ever gone to their planet has died horrible deaths.

    It's a dangerous trip, but everything goes smoothly until Aran notices one of the eggs has fallen out of the nest and been abandoned by the parents. Good naturalists know that you shouldn't intervene in nature, no matter how cruel things seem--it's the circle of life. Great naturalists know when to have a heart.

    Aran saves the egg.

    But escaping the very territorial (and very angry) land-devil parents is only the beginning of Aran's problems. Now he has to figure out how to raise a creature that can melt the bars of most cages with acid, can bite you through a glove and two layers of protective lining, and that has a venom that might kill you.

    But it is kinda cute, and Aran names her Ani.
