OK, not the actual book cover, but just kinda retro-for-the-helluv-it.
In Zenn Scarlett, our young heroine barely survived the plot to destroy the Ciscan Cloister exoveterinary clinic where she’d hoped to complete her novice year of training. Now, instead of her usual routine of caring for the Cloister’s menagerie of alien patients, Zenn finds herself headed for the mighty starliner Helen of Troy, desperately following the trail the sinister skirni who abducted her father. To make things even more… interesting… she’s also fighting to cope with the increasingly powerful “links” she’s experiencing with the minds of alien creatures. But Zenn was raised in a house of science. She knows there’s no such thing as ESP. She also knows what’s she’s feeling is all too real. Either that, or she’s losing her mind.
Embarking on a harrowing journey into the unknown, Zenn will plunge into the dark heart of a monstrous conspiracy, encounter extraordinary new races and life forms, and have her courage and budding exovet skills tested beyond anything she ever dreamed possible. Because the answers Zenn needs to find in order to save herself and those she loves won’t be found in her familiar home valley on Mars — they wait for her in a distant and dangerous realm … Under Nameless Stars.
