Reseñas de la Crítica

"McCaffrey has created another set of winning protagonists and a carefully detailed, exotic background." ( Publishers Weekly)

Excellent narrator

The narrator did a good job bringing the book to life. I am a life time fan of Anne McCaffrey and the audio version is refreshing. I did give four stars for the narrator because the exciting scenes were....a little off.

Another narrator please

Was so pleased to find in audiobook this series that I 've enjoyed and reread. I was able to lose myself in the story but I found the narrator's voice distracting and irritating. Her voice for Chuck made him sound small and annoying rather than the grand man that he is. The different ethnic voices distracted from the story, rather than adding to it. It was a good thing that I really enjoy the story or I might not have finished the book.

One of my all time Favs!!!

I've always loved this series. I continue to listen and register to it. it's an fun, suspenseful book.

Stupid autocorrect!! Zinal, Kris & Mitford.

Enjoyed overall! However, some confusion in storyline, like Mitford not trusting Zinal on first night drop (didn't say you could go buddy"), then seemingly okay with it when more help requested ( "right on!").

Botany Bay in Space

A nice bit of space opera with humans as refugees from their own world and their conquers. It has a bit of human alien romance, but aside from that it is solid.

love it

A great book with a nice flow. Can't wait to hear others in the series

Freedom's Landing

I love this author and her science fiction. I was in Jr high when I first read it. I have read all of the series.She had such an imagination for that time period. Andre Norton is another favorite I recommend

Rediscovering an old favourite

The grand old dame of sci-fi and fantasy. A life long favourite with this being one of my best loved series. She keeps the imagination alive. I enjoyed the way thoughts were accentuated not a necessity but a nice addition. The language might feel a bit dated but that doesn’t matter to me. The universal truths of together we win alone we lose ring true A nice reminder for myself at least in present times.

A good listen

My favorite author, with another good series, and another set of worlds! Rest in Peace, Ms Anne.

One of my favorites!

What do you do when your pleasant life on earth is gone? How do you know who to trust? Many adventures, interesting aliens and some annoying/scary types make this an an intriguing tale. Plus, I love a good story where the heroine is tall.
