4.0 out of 5 stars Omnibus, Feb 1 2004

By

A.J.W. "wcu_rosebud" (robbinsville, nc United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: BRAIN SHIPS (Hardcover)

When I bought this book I had the feeling it might be an omnibus of old books (because most of the new Anne McCaffrey books lately have been). But I didn't mind since I am just now starting the Brain Ship series. This omnibus contains "The Ship Who Searched" and "PartnerShip". I enjoyed both stories and look forward to reading the others in the series. I would recommend this book to anyone who doesn't already have these two books but is an Anne McCaffrey fan. Otherwise, you should probably skip the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Reprint compliations can be great, Dec 27 2003

This review is from: BRAIN SHIPS (Hardcover)

I hate to see a book containing two great stories receiving negative reviews simply because these stories were published previously. There are hundreds of great science fiction stories that have gone out of print over time. I think that these books being made available again is wonderful opportunity for readers to explore and enjoy great works from sf's past.

3.0 out of 5 stars Reprint of older books, Dec 11 2003

By

Lurcorsr "lurcorsr" (OK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: BRAIN SHIPS (Hardcover)

The brain ship books are superb writing and if you don't have the older books, it is well worth getting. But the description is deceptive in that it does not tell you that this is a compilation of three books reprinted together under a different cover. Therefore, I am returning the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good compilation.
First of all, if you already have the three stories in this book, you probably don't want it. If, however, you have not read these stories before, bundling them together in one... Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars It's a TRICK
This is not a new book, instead it is a combination of two old books. I bought it and then realized the flaw. Read more
