Critic Reviews

"The author has created memorable, strong characters who are believable and well fleshed out. This is McCaffrey at her best." ( School Library Journal)
"Narrator Jean Reed-Bahle reads all three. She is an excellent reader - her low-pitched voice is expressive and easy to listen to." ( AudioFile)

New Life For An Old Favorite.

I hope that all Anne McCaffrey's works previusly only available in abridgement will be re released in their full unabridged glory. Great Job and Thanks

Loved it!

I am a fan of this series and listen to it several times. the way they reverb telepathic conversations are a nice touch.

seems odd

it seems like chapters were cut down and whole chapters were omitted from the story, it could have been just editing errors, however it did effect my enjoyment as I have read the story in the past several times. eh... its ok

blessed be and RIP Anne

Thank you Anne for your lifetime of great stories. you have taken me from the world of Pern to the far reaches of space. From Dragons and talents to crystal Singers and more. Thank you for all you have given me.

Wonderful

A wonderful narration of a classic science fiction series that brought the story to life.

Very Nice Read

Engaging characters very good storyline. A book that I could read over again. Love this book!

Favorite among favorites!

Love this series, read or listen regularly glad I have the book in all formats especially during a power outage with a fully charged kindle.

Great to always find out what happened

I always want to know what happened to the characters. Now you get to.

The good and the bad of Anne McCaffrey

As always, McCaffrey creates an incredible world and then pokes holes in the story trying to prove a point. this breaks the immersion but not so much that the story is unenjoyable.

Such nice kids

A heartwarming tale of teens who have emerged from Bildungsroman at age 16 and lead the universe in dealing with the Borg. Makes me really wonder why we haven't staffed the Intern'l Space Station with mid teens. There is a large amount of world building, so much so that reading the prior books is really not necessary. I did like the Pern stories better.
