Upon returning to their planet they find things have changed, this leads to the first encounter with ‘evil’ and they end up on the run and on a planet Kezdet, which uses child slave labor. They discover she has some special abilities.

Before they can back to their planet they take care of her, they become her ‘uncles’ and as such decide to keep her and raise her as their own. The story starts with 3 space miners finding a floating escape pod and inside it is a little girl, human-like, but not human. I say practically everyone because not everyone is evil, but it seems that everyone who is not a friend of Acorna, if they are not evil, they end up becoming her friends. The good being Acorna and her friends, the evil practically everyone else. My memories of Dragonriders are a little fuzzy as it was several years ago I read them, but it seems they were much better written. It seemed to lack somewhat in characterization and plot. Having read all of the “Dragonriders of Pern” series by Anne McCaffrey I decided to give this series a try. Recently I watched a review for “The Last Unicorn”, it was based on a book, however when I went looking for the book I couldn’t find it.
