Golden Witchbreed is a novel by Mary Gentle published in 1983.
Golden Witchbreed is a novel in which Christie is on the planet Orthe as an envoy from Earth.
[1] Dave Langford reviewed Golden Witchbreed for White Dwarf #46, and stated that "Golden Witchbreed is not for those who demand slambang action and exploding suns.
Its leisurely opening will irritate some: Gentle is almost arrogant in her refusal to do anything quick and obvious by way of narrative hook.
The author writes with enviable calmness and assurance, and has produced a remarkably good novel.
