Power Play - Anne Mccaffrey, Elizabeth Ann Scarborough

Power Play is the third and final novel in the Petaybee Trilogy.

It looks like Petaybee is settling down. Intergal has pulled out. A delegation from Petaybee, including Yana, Bunny, and Diego, is traveling to Gal Three to testify at the CIS court that Petaybee is indeed sentient. Some people never give up though. Petaybee is intentionally being flooded with illegal immigrants, hunters, and pharma reps. The Petaybee delegation is kidnapped from Gal Three and held for ransom. Things are getting interesting. Not to mention Yana is pregnant. Very highly recommended. BTW there is a sequel trilogy featuring Yana's offspring. Yeah!
