The Trouble with You Earth People
by Katherine MacleanThe Trouble with You Earth People is a 230 page collection of twelve short stories written by the Nebula Award winning author Katherine MacLean and first published in leading science fiction magazines between 1954 and 1974. Starblaze's front page reads as follows: Katherine MacLean has been in the vanguard of those SF writers trying to apply to the soft (psychological) sciences the machinery of the hard (technological sciences) ... KM was one of the earlier women writers, but... in a notoriously chauvinist field she competed on equal terms, not restricting herself to "feminine" themes or protagonists. The admiration accorded her work has nothing to do with tokenism." The Science Fiction Encyclopedia. "This century is increasingly exciting, dangerous, and involved in threats to the entire planet, like a very wild early science fiction plot. Perhaps I should write realistic contemporary novels to try to deal with it, but the respectable literary realism usually deals totally with characters, rather than the big background picture. To me science fiction makes alternative histories the hero of the story and the great events are characterized. I've always liked it that way." Katherine MacLean in Contemporary Science Fiction Authors.

A female chieftain in a brutal wasteland society fights to take what is hers in an action-packed, foul-mouthed fantasy adventure from the author of The Grey Bastards (“Nonstop action, though not for faint hearts.”—The Wall Street Journal). Fetching was once the only female rider in the Lot Lands. Now she is the proud leader of her own hoof, a band of loyal half-orcs sworn to her command. But in the year since she became chief, the Lots have tested her strength to the breaking point. The Bastards are scattered, desperate, their ranks weakened by a mysterious famine, their fortress reduced to smoldering slag. And their troubles are only growing. A pack of ravening beasts circles their camp, while grasping human nobles hatch a plan that will shift the balance of power in the Lots. Fetch and her comrades are still standing defiant—they’re Bastards, after all—but even the toughest half-orc can take only so much; and Fetch knows they’re on the verge of ruin. As she strives to lead her hoof to safety and unravel the plots set against them, Fetching must journey through forbidden elven lands, overcome long-standing hatreds, battle a monstrous wizard of terrifying power—and, worst of all, delve into the dark truths of her own existence. She’s no stranger to fighting the world, but on this journey, sharp steel and a strong hog won’t be enough. To survive these trials, she’ll have to defy not just her foes but the very nature of the Lots.
