From Publishers Weekly

In this sequel to Powers That Be , the hardworking inhabits of the sentient planet Petaybee continue their struggles with the magnates controlling Intergal Company. While chairperson Dr. Whittaker Fiske has been convinced of the planet's intelligence--and the necessity of negotiating with it--other members of the board believe that he and the Petaybeans are suffering from a collective delusion. Two representatives arrive to investigate: the first, Marmion de Revers Algemeine, maintains an open mind, but cultural anthropologist Matthew Luzon uses his training to cheat non-technical cultures out of their heritage. A group of Petaybeans and sympathizers set out for other villages to win over those willing to continue mining despite the planet's requests to stop. After numerous convoluted plot turns, a Petaybean resistance leads to a satisfactory conclusion. This lackluster tale suffers from excessive sentimentality, while characters are no better developed than in the first volume. Both independently and together, these collaborators have displayed their gifts to better advantage elsewhere.

From Library Journal

Former Intergal officer Yanaba Maddock allies herself with the residents of her adopted planet Petaybee against her one-time employers to prevent the mineral rape of a sentient world. Shortsighted opportunists clash head on with stubborn defenders of a world and a way of life in this sequel to Powers That Be (LJ 5/15/93). McCaffrey and Scarborough collaborate seamlessly to tell a first-rate sf adventure with strong male and female protagonists and a life-affirming theme.

5.0étoiles sur 5 i LOVED this series, Juil 27 2003
Par Un client
i personally loved this series. maybe its because i could relate to the story more easily than to a world of dragons, not that i didnt love the Dragonriders of Pern. however, Petaybee was different. I absolutely loved the series, although sometimes the plot is a little shakey and some parts of the story dont match others.

1.0étoiles sur 5 Not even close, Avril 22 2002
Par Patrick Ryan (Calgary, AB, Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
Had to give this one a minimal rating to balance out the other reviewer. If that individual thought this was a gripping and emotionally powerful book, they must be 12 years old, or extraordinarily poorly-read. The plot development is clunky, the morality is ham-fisted, and the characters are one-dimensional. This is NOT McCaffrey's best work. In fact, it's the worst McCaffrey I've ever read. Do not buy this series. If you must try it, borrow it from your local public library.

5.0étoiles sur 5 The most moving and gripping science fiction story I've read, Nov. 7 1996
Par Un client
This review is from: Power Lines (Hardcover)
I've read many sci-fi stories but this is the first I've read that expresses the idea of a sentient planet. This sequal to " Powers that Be " plays with ideas and blends native american belifs with adventure and wild stories. Yanaba is a strong character and you feel as if she's your best friend. Clodgah Senunkut is the most caring person I've come across in my reading.Bunny, Diego and 'Cita are great compliments to the story. And Sean gives Yanaba a love so strong it makes your tears come to your eyes. Anne McCaffrey is a master in her element and truly knows what she's doing.
