Freedom's Landing - read by Susie Breck, directed by Ruth BloomquistIt's the dawning of a new age for mankind when the Catteni descend to Earth and easily overcome the Earth's population. Thousands are herded onto slave ships headed for the intergalactic auction block.
Kris Bjornsen is captured in Denver on her way to her college classes and wakes up on the primitive planet Barevi. Courageous and resourceful, she manages a single-woman escape from the Catteni and is living in the wilds of the planet when she comes to the aid of a Catteni soldier pursued by his own ranks. Recaptured together, they join forces with other slaves to outwit their captors and a hostile planetary environment.
Freedom's Challenge - multi-voice narration, directed by Ruth Bloomquist
Kris Bjornsen has come a long way since alien slave ships scooped her up in Denver with thousands of others. Dropped off on an apparently uninhabited world with the rest, she has fallen in love with Zainal, a renegade Catteni, and made a comfortable life for herself and her new family. But she feels a soldier's duty to escape Botany and rejoin the struggle for freedom.
Freedom's Choice - multi-voice narration, directed by Ruth Bloomquist
The shipments of Catteni slaves continue, but they find that they are enjoyably reinventing the creature comforts of home, and searching for the origin of the Farmers who were the original occupants of Botany, all under the keen eyes of two very different observers. When scouts for the Emassi come to retrieve Zainal, shanghaied in the original shipment of slaves, Botany changes irrevocably. Listeners will delight in this continued adventure of survival, romance, and ingenuity.

I read the series years ago and re-read them recently. They are brilliantly written and the series was enthralling and captivating from the start to finish. Would recommend themAnne McCaffrey was born on April 1st, 1926, in Cambridge, Massachusetts.Her parents were George Herbert McCaffrey, BA, MA PhD (Harvard), Colonel USA Army (retired), and Anne Dorothy McElroy McCaffrey, estate agent. She had two brothers: Hugh McCaffrey (deceased 1988), Major US Army, and Kevin Richard McCaffrey, still living.Anne was educated at Stuart Hall in Staunton Virginia, Montclair High
Another fabulous series by one of my favorite authors.
... I did NOT listen to this on tape, but just wanted to add the group of books and this was the listing I'd found. I'd discovered PERN while a teen and adored the Dragon series. I love the complete different worlds McCaffery creates. I enjoy "survivor" type books/shows, so this appealed to me and kept my interest.
Involuntarily dropped on the planet Botany by the Catteni, Kris and her fellow slaves attempt to survive and overthrow their slave masters.
My only frustration is that in all her world building she creates the Farmers to be peaceful and benign as a race of advanced beings. They can farm entire worlds with no waste if space. They cultivate and create and are called pacific in nature. If this is true why do they gather up and eat meat from live animals? Why was nothing done about the fact that humans were rounded up and also made into chow that the farmers who are so peaceful snacked on?
I read the first of these books years ago and when I noticed Freedom's Ransom, which came out in 2002 at the library, I decided to finish the series, which meant, for me, starting from the first again. It's a story of the invasion of earth by an alien race, whose modus operandi is to scoop up whole cities-full of inhabitants and use them as slaves or drop them off on planets they want colonized for later use. That practice usually subdues the people left behind but earth types are more
