Margaret Afseth Libri

When Brad first arrived in Azure Blue, he thought Loni, Scar, and the two women were all he had to contend with. The six tiny children were simply too young to be a danger to anyone. Fact was, he thought, they needed looking after, rather than being a threat.Trumack, the Special Op's leader, made the same mistake...But, Trumack decided to conquer, manipulate, and eliminate...discovering a weapon, he could not control. Brad accepted the children, and found support, in the process, learning some amazing facts about them.The mommas had been stolen from Earth; the young ones born on that unusual planet. Because of the Overseer's experiments, each child possessed powers, some yet untried, until... Earth sent the soldiers.When these vengeful men go after the elders who look after them, how will the children survive? How do they cope?A rag-tag mixture of a little black boy, who sees more than others; an Asian with control over animals; Storm, who can manipulate the weather; and E-ri and Thea, of an alien blue-skinned race, able to teleport, among other things...but that's only the beginning of their talents. Wait until the girls join forces, or try using all seven in a group...Prepare for a wild ride, as they discover themselves, and...well, enjoy the surprise ending...

They were chased through the portal into the Earth world, by soldiers bent on destroying them; only to find that planet as unfriendly as the humans behind them. They were mere children, different; in the eyes of either world, especially those who hunted them, unfit to remain in existence.Instead of finding succor in this new world, they found that the Overseers of their past world had entrenched themselves in Earth society, were changing it, not for the better, but using it to propagate their own race, and eradicate the many cultures of Earth.With enemies behind, who had followed them through, and enemies infiltrated among the inhabitants of their new world, what are they to do? Especially, since they have somehow, become separated from their caregivers.How does this new world with its multi-cultures, and many faults, its beauty, idiosyncrasies, even ugliness, look to alien eyes? And how will they react to the various situations? A bird-boy among the refugees; invisible ice-skinned inquisitives with a moral judgement of their own, to a young girl of eleven forced into sensual slavery, when she has never before known the intimacy of a man. What are they to think, when the worst of society gets to them first? Can we blame them for their reaction...or the results?

They steal people; farm them in the bowels of the earth like cattle, leaving little hope for humanity to survive. Against the odds, they fight to stay alive. They are the Noor people.

Will Bom go unpunished for his many dastardly deeds? Will he forever plague the civilized universe? And what of the humans left on the dying Forbidden Planet? Are they to remain as mere cattle to feed the voracious appetites of the Roog, or will someone take pity and rescue them?Be both shocked, and thrilled at how the frail Noor leader deals with the situation, and her enemies in this third book of the Noor series.
