StarBridge 4: Serpent’s Gift<\/strong> by A. C. Crispin with Deborah A. Marshall, published in 1992<\/p>\n

The asteroid that StarBridge Academy is on was donated by the Mizari. Now artifacts have been found in a cave, and some think that they’re from the Lost Colony. A couple of archaeologists are looking for more evidence. Meanwhile, an 11-year-old named Heather arrives with the new students. She’s younger than the rest, and Dr. Rob’s not sure about her attitude — but she’s an amazing telepath.<\/p>\n

This is the 8th book I\u2019ve read by Crispin, and the 1st by Marshall.<\/p>\n

It doesn’t have any new aliens, but it does have the terrific characters Dr. Rob and Doctor Blanket. And it has characters learning from their mistakes.<\/p>\n
