Journal Entry 1 by krin511 from Olney, Maryland USA on Sunday, December 30, 2007

Description:

"Rider at the Gate is the first in a two-book series chronicling the existence of human colonists stranded on a planet whose only native life forms are linked by telepathy, sending sensory images to one another enhanced by powerful emotions. One of these species, the "nighthorse," befriends the humans, and together they form a bond of mutual protection--the nighthorses guard their riders against the planet's mind-clouding predators, while the humans provide them with food and shelter.Once matched, the two experience a companionship more profound than either has ever known before. The story continues in Cloud's Rider."

My thoughts:

I enjoyed this story which featured people and horses who can communicate with each other using images. I especially liked the interactions between Guil and his horse Burn and between Danny and his horse Cloud.

Received today. Thanks for sending it. Once I read this one, I suppose I'm going to have to hunt down a copy of the sequel, Cloud's Rider.
