2) The Year of Intelligent Tigers, by Kate Orman
This had been recommended to me some time back by
I enjoyed it. The amnesiac Eighth Doctor, with companions Fitz and Anji (who I previously encountered a few books later), is on an artistically inclined colony world where the indigenous large tiger-like fauna turn out to be more intelligent than their human neighbours had thought. Multiple narrative points of view, both human and tiger, vividly and credibly portrayed background scenery, and a very Doctor Who-ish, humanistic resolution to the conflict between the two races. Will look out for more by this author.
Nicholas, that was a very timely posting. I came across the book about one month ago in a dsicussion thread about the “monomyth” on LibraryThing.
Following that thread I put “The Hero With a Thousand Faces” on my wish list in TheBookDepository. I was thinking of placing an order for it this week. Thanks to your review I will hold off on placing that order.
Thank you!
