Quote:<br /><br />"It will do you no good." Teal was quietly adamant. "It's the cristif."<br />Aimee blinked at her. "The what?" A worried Flinx tracked the wavering arcs of the engineer's pistol. She could panic at. any time and start shooting.<br />Teal was adamant. "The cristif. In your hair."<br />The other woman reached up to feel the bouquet of glittering, gemlike flowers. "Is that all you're talking about? The flowers I'm wearing?" Her expression wavered between relief and uncertainty.<br />"You do not wear the cristif." Teal's tone was solemn. "The cristif wears you."<br /><br />...<br /><br />Moments later the darkening, taut skin of the tendrils burst, and the engineer's body lay abloom with the breathtaking radiance of newly blossoming cristif. Deftly turning toward the available light, the gold and crystal blooms enveloped the dead woman in a delicate casket of rainbows. Petals of crimson and gold, azure and purple, flared from her eye sockets. Eventually, Flinx suspected, the remains of the engineer would be thoroughly consumed, leaving behind only the dire wonder of the flowers.Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16367287655636396603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5094882980141714034.post-2543728501621250912017-06-23T15:33:49.955-04:002017-06-23T15:33:49.955-04:00A great resource for getting these "Story ID&...A great resource for getting these "Story ID" questions answered is https://scifi.stackexchange.comRosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16367287655636396603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5094882980141714034.post-75254220092907169482017-06-23T15:22:13.255-04:002017-06-23T15:22:13.255-04:00Book 3 resembles in some ways "Midworld"...Book 3 resembles in some ways "Midworld", by Alan Dean Foster. The "bears" are furcots, kind of like six legged intelligent tigers, companions to the humans. The humans are survivors of a crashed colony ship. The "knots" (burls) with essence of immortality are there for sure.<br /><br />The flower thing doesn't quite match. The invading humans are harvesting flowers, which bothers the "native" humans greatly. <br /><br />... after some Googling ...<br /><br />You may have read <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Mid-Flinx-Adventures-Pip-Flinx-Book-ebook/dp/B000FBFONW/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8" rel="nofollow">Mid-Flinx (Adventures of Pip & Flinx, book 7)</a>, which brings the hero Flinx of the series onto the world Midworld. I never read this book, but it's described as a sequel to Midworld, so it may very well be what you are looking for.Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16367287655636396603noreply@blogger.com
