From Publishers Weekly

McCaffrey continues to develop her future world in which psionic Talents, once feared and despised, are by now necessary to the comfort and conduct of society. Following the events in To Ride, Pegasus and set a generation or so before The Rowan , this era finds mankind not yet having settled planets outside the solar system. Even with officially mandated birth control, the world teems with too many people. Essential to the construction of a space station being built to serve as springboard to the stars are the services of the Talents--particularly the telekinetics, who can move objects by mental power. Telepath Rhyssa Owen, a top official of the Center for Parapsychic Talents, must contend with the station's construction manager, who treats Talents brutally and otherwise discourages them from working for her. Meanwhile two youngsters are found to be unusually Talented: Peter Reidinger overcomes paralysis to develop the first gestalt with electrical generators (this becomes the basis for future space travel), while Tirlap, an illegal child from the vertical slums, facilitates communication among a wide variety of cultures. Meanwhile, kidnappers prey on children for pederastic pursuits and for spare parts. McCaffrey's world of the Talented is as vivid as that of Pern and its dragons. Major ad/promo.

From Library Journal

As director of the Jerhatten Center for Parapsychic Talents, telepath Rhyssa Owen struggles to protect her psychically gifted people--called "Talents"--from a world that both fears and wants to exploit their abilities. McCaffrey's sequel to To Ride Pegasus (Ballantine, 1981) depicts a near-future in which a few "Talented" individuals hold the key to humanity's freedom, as Earth's inhabitants face overcrowding at home while dreaming of escape to the stars. Recommended.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Book 2 in the Pegasus series, Mai 17 2004
Par Susan L. (Birmingham, AL United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Pegasus in Flight (Mass Market Paperback)
Anne McCaffrey is the greatest. This book continues the story of psychically Talented individuals in the near future. The characters are getting filled out more in this book. You have to read this one second. Don't try to read it before To Ride Pegasus. Actually they could have easily been combined into one book. They are available as a double set and that is how I bought my copies. This series is a wonderful look at "what if" in our own society. A great read!!! Definitly follow up on the story by reading Pegasus in Space.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Better than the first Pegasus, Aoû 15 2001
Par Ian Cruickshank (Victoria, B.C., Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Pegasus in Flight (Mass Market Paperback)
With the end of the second book I was disappointed that it had ended. At fisrt I was not overly thrilled that the main characters from "To Ride Pegasus" were used, but by the middle I was truly enjoying these new characters. I was overly joyed when Doreta returned but as an older woman giving some link between the first two novels. When I picked up the third novel I was pleased that the characters from this book continue on. I still wonder at the limit of Peter's Talent, and besides her natural Talent for languages Tirla has some other Talents that are still hidden. The topic of child theft and their use as a labour force on farms, in mines, and as prostitutes is somthing most of use may not think about but occurs all time in all countries, in one form or another. Yet the story also shows us that children can have the greatest impact on use personally and on society if they are given a chance to succeed. With hints from other reviewers that there is a link between this an the Rowan series I may have to start that one soon.

5.0étoiles sur 5 A worthy successor to To Ride Pegasus, Juil 20 2001
Par "byrkit" (Portland, OR United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Pegasus in Flight (Mass Market Paperback)
This one is even better than the first Pagasus book - tighter writing, characters drawn with more assurance, the implications of life in a society where some have Talents more carefully explored.

DON'T read this book first. They must be read in order to get the full impact of McCaffrey's rare ability to create a consistant and delightful premise, then work out all the implications logically.
