4.0 out of 5 stars A must have for any Anne McCaffrey reader., May 14 2004

By	Susan L. (Birmingham, AL United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: To Ride Pegasus (Mass Market Paperback)

I read the "Rowan" series before I found this book. I actually started reading it only because it was written by Anne McCaffrey (one of the best in the business). Not long after I began reading I realized this was the precursor to the "Rowan" universe. This book was a surprise. A wonderful book written by one of the greatest authors in any universe.

One of her good books but the plot sort of jumped around a little.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Page Flipper, Jul 27 2001

By	Ian Cruickshank (Victoria, B.C., Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: To Ride Pegasus (Mass Market Paperback)

Every now and then you come across a book that you had to continue to read. That by the time you finished the book you were thanking the author for writing such a good book, yet cursing her for not writing a longer book. Well that is how it was for me; the problem being that I have neglected my homework over the past two days. If Anne McCaffrey�s other series (Pern, etc�) are like this, I will have to be careful that I have no essays due then. This novel deals with a group of people who have different telepathic �Talents�. The strength of the book, besides the smooth writing style, is how the book was divided and the stories they told. The first story is more or less an introduction, then a generation later the other three stories tell us about Ruth and her latent but most interesting power, about the Maggie 'O tragedy and last about Amalda, a broadcasting empath. The only hitch to the book is that it was written in 1973 so for us who have been swamped be the �X-Files�, the lack of government conspiracy may not seem just right. Remember when you open the book to set aside a day or two.
