Fire in the forestand a cry for help from a trapped and desperate alien mother! Unfortunately, this is one cry no human can hear. Stephanie Harrington, precocious fourteen-year-old Provisional Forest Ranger on the planet Sphinx, knows something is wrong from the uneasy emotion that is flooding into her from her treecat friend, Climbs Quickly. But though Stephanies alien comrade shares a tight bond with his two-legs, whom he knows as Death Fangs Bane, he cannot communicate directly to her the anguished call from one of his people.
Still, their strong and direct bond of feeling may be enough. Stephanie and fellow ranger Karl Zivonik respond to Climbs Quicklys rising waves of distress. Fire season on the pioneer world of Sphinx has begun. But there are those who want to use the natural cycle of the planet for personal gain and to get rid of the one obstacle that stands in the way of acquiring even greater land and power on Spinx: the native treecats.

And keeping the secret that will allow the treecats time to develop a mutually beneficial relationship with humankind.
