The World Celaeno Chose (Dimsdale: London, 1999). ISBN 0-9523625-3-8, trade paperback.

The World Celaeno Chose: A long time ago interstellar colonists got lost, but found on a world to colonize; too late they discovered that it was inimical to male reproductive capabilities. The clever colonists devised a form of parthenogenesis that was telepathically initiated, to ensure sexual reproduction rather than cloning, and a religion eventually developed. During the time of this story, the religion has become corrupt & tyrannical, and stands in the way of a romance between a young "imprinter" (a sort of honored Temple slave) and a ranger (kick-ass Amazon warrior). Will our heroines triumph over evil? -- lq, 5/24/00
