关于此电子书

All five books in one volume: This fantasy epic about sentient prehistoric wild cats is "powerful, moving, and memorable" ( Booklist, starred review).
In this adventurous series by a PEN Award–winnning author, Ratha belongs to the Named, a clan of intelligent prehistoric cats who roam a primal landscape and battle for their lives against the savage enemies that stalk the territory.

Ratha's Creature: Young Ratha is a herder, not a hunter. But when she's exiled from her clan after mastering the power of fire, she must survive the unforgiving wild with only her blazing "creature" to aid her.

Clan Ground: Ratha's ability to control fire could help her clan grow stronger and even dominant—or wreak havoc from within. Now, she must choose the correct path to prosperity, or the Named will surely be doomed.

Ratha and Thistle-Chaser: When Ratha clashes with a cat who guards an ocean and its creatures, the two discover a common bond—and unite against a demonic enemy.

Ratha's Challenge: The Named encounter another tribe, and Ratha is torn between friendship and conquest. But her daughter may hold the solution—if she and Ratha can overcome their dark past.

Ratha's Courage: When Ratha's clan shares the power of fire with another tribe, a disastrous blaze ignites a clash between them, and it's up to Ratha to end the carnage.

作者简介

Born in England in 1952, Clare Bell immigrated to the United States in 1957. She worked in oceanography, electrical engineering, and mechanical engineering before she wrote her first book, Ratha's Creature (Atheneum-Argo Margaret K. McElderry, 1983), about a prehistoric wildcat who tames fire. She continued to write fantasy and science fiction for children and adults. She says, "I am still fascinated by prehistoric animals and big cats, as showcased in the five Ratha novels. . . . My stories show sociological themes, exploring how culture changes through technology, even one as crude as fire. The central theme of my fiction is evolution, a result of my being influenced early by the works of C. S. Lewis, Olaf Stapledon, and Arthur C. Clarke."
Bell has multiple science degrees and works in technical areas in addition to writing fiction. She built and designed electric vehicles, and worked in Norway on the Ford Think EV. She also raced EVs in the Arizona Public Service Company–sponsored Solar and Electrics competitions. Her electric Porsche 914, race number 13, was a top-placing competitor. She helped lead the Women's Electric Racing and Educational Team (WE'RE-IT), with the Porsche and a converted Rabbit (number 6) Hop-Along. After moving to the hills west of Patterson, California, Bell and her husband, Chuck Piper, installed their own solar, waterwheel, and wind systems.
After writing the most recent novel in the Ratha series, Bell launched an exciting new project: working with young artists on a Ratha's Creature graphic novel. To learn more, please visit www.facebook.com/rathaseries.
