Freedom's Landing
ByPublisher Description
Kristin Bjornsen lived a normal life, right up until the day the spaceships floated into view above Denver. As human slaves were herded into the maw of a massive vessel, Kristin realized her normal life was over and her fight for freedom was just beginning…
The alien Catteni value strength and intelligence in their slaves—and Kristin has managed to survive her enslavement while hundreds of other humans have not. But her trial has just begun, for now she finds herself part of a massive experiment. The aliens have discovered a new world, and they have a simple way of finding out if it’s habitable: drop hundreds of slaves on the surface and see what happens.
If they survive, colonization can begin. If not, there are always more slaves.

“this is a quick, easy to read sci-fi for anyone looking to get sucked into a new story. The premise and plotline is interesting, the Catteni are colonizing new worlds, by dumping slave races onto new planets to start the habitation and development portion of colonizing. It's a survival sci-fi. Sadly, the characters were all rather one dimensional stereotypes. I just kept hoping for better development from them and it never really came. I did really enjoy it though, if the characters had more thought and nuance put into them, it would have bumped this book up to 4 or even 5 stars, it's carried by plot and world building.”
