Jody Lynn Nye

It's the most unusual medical unit in the galaxy--and it makes house calls. A fully equipped starship lab, Taylor's Ark is run by Dr. Shona Taylor, a specialist in environmental medicine. She has a menagerie of very special assistants, including an Abyssinian cat, a dog, rabbits, mice, and an alien ottle named Chirwl. Now, this highly trained crew faces the ultimate medical mystery. On Chirwl's home world, humans and ottles alike are aging at an alarming rate. And if Dr. Taylor doesn't find a fast cure, the entire colony will die... of old age.

The Lady and the Tiger

Taylor's Ark: Book 3

Jody Lynn Nye

Dr. Shona Taylor takes on a new assignment, and discovers a chilling reality behind a picture perfect planet...

What price for paradise?

Jardindor is, by most estimates, a new Eden: from the number of trees to the exact spacing of every lamppost and garden, the alien planet is perfection, a totally controlled terraformed world on the outreaches of colonized space. When Dr. Shona Taylor receives her posting as physician to the settlers on Jardindor, she packs up her family--children and medical menagerie, as well as Chirwl, the alien ottle--expecting a very serene six months.

But the people of Jardindor are guarding more than their perfect world. They're hiding a dark secret, and as Shona learns more about her new hosts and their strange fascination with animals, her new job turns into a nightmare.
