Publisher's summary

The exhilarating adventures of Anne McCaffrey's best selling Crystal Singer series continue with Killashandra, a story that mixes interplanetary political intrigue with passionate romance. In this installment, Killashandra Ree's crystal claim has been exhausted, forcing her to take a new assignment and leave her new lover back on their native Ballybran. She goes undercover on a distant, desolate planet, searching desperately for the crystal that will save her - and, quite possibly, the fate of the entire universe.

Abridged version

My title says it all. Its not the narrator's fault. The audio compression used here hurts it slightly. I love this story but it is a shame to hear the heart cut out of it in this abridged version. Its rather like a short story version of the story I love. I would greatly look forward to a proper version of this book both of higher audio quality and unabridged.

Good for Abridged

After having read the original book years ago, it was nice to hear a fair reading. It would have been better if it had not been abridged.

ABRIDGED VERSION SLAUGHTERS THE STORY

Someone needs to record the UN-abridged version of this story. This audio book has terrible sound, and the narrator isn't suitable for this series. Read the book and forget this audio book. Not worth the price of purchase. Darn shame. DO BETTER AUDIBLE !!!

Bah, Humbug!

Abridged. Like brownies made without chocolate. A terrible thing to do to any excellent McCaffery. The performance was well done. Good job to the performer and writer. Bah, humbug to the director and producer.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Crystals revisited

The second encounter with crystal singer Killashandra Ree is as satisfying as your first. Well written and fast paced you are swept along with the story. A good read.
