Publisher Description
From the team of Anne McCaffrey (author of the Dragonriders of Pern series) and Nebula Award-winning author Elizabeth Ann Scarborough comes a thrilling new science-fiction tale featuring telepathic cats that are invaluable to the spacefarers who own them.
Thomas's Duchess - or Chessie, to those who love and depend on her services - is no ordinary cat. She's a purebred Barque Cat, trained to patrol the ship on which she serves, sniffing out oxygen leaks and spotting other problems. But when a corrupt government announces it has found an epidemic that requires the impounding and possible destruction of animals across the galaxy - Barque Cats included - two young people, a kitten, and a mysterious, powerful cat with a hidden agenda, are all that stand between the galaxy's animals and total destruction.

Ditto""" A purrrfectly fun cat-in-space romp
I agree completely. Some of the best family friendly sci-fi for cat fans.
A purrrrfectly enjoyable cat-n-space romp
I've never read anything by Anne McCaffrey that I didn't enjoy, and the Barque Cat series is another fun addition to her collection. The woman who does the reading (sorry, can't remember her name, and couldn't find the reference anywhere online) does a good job with the voices and overall narration. The Barque Cats stories are lighter fare than the Pern and Freedom series, but the characters and story are well-developed, and very engaging. I was sorry to find that there are only two in this series – Catalyst and Catacombs. But thankfully, both are unabridged versions, and provide many hours of entertainment.
