Calfia's Daughters Needs A Sequel!!

This book is really awesome. For a stand alone book this one is great! Everyone should read this. The main character Dian has no magic, and does not necessarily make a great hero at all points in the book. The book is about a group of women (200 ish) who live in a world where men nearly all died. This means the men are expected to not work and are treated as "women" who cannot do much. The women do all the hard work and all the work so that the men will not get sick or hurt or etc and therefore die. Dian goes to investigate war in an upper region in the area and is gone over a year. She returns with 3 extras and a very changed woman! I came to this book expecting very little but actually really enjoyed it alot! I actually wrote her and asked about sequels, i loved this book so much! Unfortunately she didn't say much about sequels! However, I really hope Laurie King writes a sequel to this eventually!

More Please

I am a great fan of Laurie King but did not know this book was by her until I had finished it. It was a real pleasure to experience her spare writing style in science fiction and I am really sad that there is no sequel to this great book. I thought Dian was a very sympathetic character and I loved the dogs. Laurie King seem to like to explore the "standards" by which women are judged and this scenario was a fascinating one.

I want a sequel !!!

I read a lot of science fiction and found this book great!! The characters were interesting and I loved the dogs. I want to see Dian and her dog reunited. This is an interesting world and I hope to explore and see more of it.

Great sci-fi from a great mystery writer

I have read and loved all of Laurie King's mystery genre books, and here writing under Leigh Richards, she is just as good. She has always exceled at creating unique and complelling characters, and Dian is definetely one of them. In addition, her vision of the future is truely interesting, and one I would love to see developed in sequels to this book. Overall, a gread read.

Become part of a fantasy world

Since the author of this book is really Laurie R. King, known for her superb and intellectual mysteries, I had to read Califia's Daughters. She draws you into the story bit by bit, until you must read on. Even if you don't read fantasy novels, this one is a must read. By the end you believe that the story told could really happen, if . . .
