Acorna's Children: Second Wave by Anne Mccaffrey

Khorii, the rebellious daughter of the near-mythic Acorna and her lifemate, Aari, must contend with an overwhelming legacy to forge a path of her own through a universe filled with new adversaries and adventure. In First Warning, she became a hero in her own right as she fought to save the universe from a mysterious plague that not even the healing powers of the Linyaari could stop. Now she and her genius android 'brother' must find the malevolent cause of the deadly disease before those behind it cripple the star system.
Khorii is definitely a chip off the old hornAnne McCaffrey and Elizabeth Ann Scarborough are experts at being able to draw their readers into quite a complex and already well-established world, without making too many narrative demands with regard to the previous books. Their style is, as always, eminently readable * SFX *
Combining colourful characterizations, lots of fast-paced action, and a decided sense of menace.this is entertaining fare indeed * Booklist (on the Acorna series) *
