High Wizardry

This is the third book in the Wizardry series. In this one Dairine takes the wizard's oath and sets off on her own ordeal, an ordeal which involves traveling to various planets, some of them far removed from our own galaxy, much less our own solar system. I really like the descriptions the author uses for the planets, and the Grand Central Station-type place where Dairine runs into the servants of the Lone Power.

Dairine ends up on a silicon-based planet and manages to create an entire race of sentient beings, but the traditional earth story is repeated when the Lone Power tries to seduce the beings to his side, and Dairine has to stand up to him. Kit and Nita end up there to help her, though.

It's a really good third book in the series, my favorite so far (but probably because I like astronomy so much.)
