Terry wakes up to find that she can't remember how she got where she is - and worse is the knowledge, when she's told, of where that is. This description may be from another edition of this product.
This is a very good series. As mentioned by other reviewers it does resemble John Norman up to a point, but then Terry does prove to everyone (including Tamad) that she is a strong (dare i say it) warrior. You can see Terry growing, going from a spoiled Prime in the beginning to a responsible (maybe too responsible) person. In this volume she is kidnapped and taken to a planet where again men do not think that women are important and are only used a baby makers. The men are supposedly the only warriors. After manageing to escape she is picked up by Murdock and taken back. To find that she has a whole family (mother father brothers aunts uncles). They attack the baby making plant and ofcourse win. In the end it is mentioned that not everyone has to go through what Terry went through to gain what she gained. She also was not in bondage as proven by the last "feeling" of not belonging to Tamad. In all the books were very very good. To fully appreciate the story you had to read all the books in the series, if you could get them it was worth it. It is a shame that people are not willing to wait until the end of the series to judge the books.

I have read the entire series and I wonder if it was worth it, for Terril. She pretty much suffered hell on earth to gain the fleeting love of man, Tammad. I know that in the end she got it all, the power, the love, the family which made her complete...but was it worth it. From the beginning she was punished for the very thing that Tammad tried to uphold, Honor and Pride. I'm sure she could have been taken down a notch or two but he very nearly destroyed her. I know that pain is the ultimate teacher so by all rights Terril should be the smartest human alive. I'm not so sure that the ends justify the means in this. If you knew love was at the end of a journey such as hers would you brave the heat? or would you seek love elsewhere? People say that love conqures all... now I,m not so sure. I know that I would die a million deaths for the one I loved but I doubt I would suffer them before I fell 'head over heels'. America fought a war to escape the clutch opression, yet she willingly slid into that same clutch. From her liberated society into bondage. I doubt I could do that.
A great book about a strong (psychic) woman and her triumphs

This is a wonderful book to read, the best and most complex (concluding) story in the "Terrilian" series. The heroine, empath/psychic Terril, meets challenge after challenge, and in doing so, becomes stronger and more self-aware. The character of Terril is finally allowed to grow and develop and become strong. A fitting conclusion to the "Warrior Within" series.
