A very well thought out story

Revisado: 12-11-24

It's not a surprise to anyone familiar this author that we have an intricate and detailed world with well rounded characters. Kept me glued all the way through.

It begins with a mercenary soldier in a country not his own, but he is so much more than that. We get to watch him as he develops a crucial understanding of the place and it's people while getting an eye opening insight of his own country.

I would recommend this to adult readers or advanced young adult readers due to the complexity of ideals and the results of misconception. A Prime example of the gray area in a black and white world.

Ivypool at her best

Revisado: 12-08-24

It was great to hear a story with Ivypool in a good spotlight. I feel that losing Bristlefrost the way we did was hard on all of us, and this helps with closure for us, the fans, too. You will enjoy this story. Has a freshness of plot as well as can be expected with cats going on a mission.

A Heinlein Classic

Revisado: 03-28-22

I love this story.....but then I love almost everything I have ever read by Mr. Heinlein. In some ways, I would say this is a softer story than most, yet that isn't really it. The thing that is missing is the open sexuality that is prevalent in many of his books, but the story doesn't need it.

We begin with an arrogant, superficial actor who goes on an interesting and novel stage which changes his life from the inside out. His journey has many twists and turns, and, in Heinlein style, an unexpected ending. I recommend this book to young adult through adult readers, and of course, the few precocious youth who want to give it a go.

Anne McCaffrey never fails to entertain!

Revisado: 01-20-22

The book is written for the young and young at heart reader. The story centers around Nimisha who is born into a very high ranking, aristocratic family. She is expected to be more a decoration than anything else, but Nimisha has talent and a drive to be so much more.

Best one yet.....

Revisado: 11-16-21

There were some very difficult story lines to be concluded with this book, and I believe they were handled very well indeed. Life isn't easy, and the loss of a loved one can be the hardest of them all.

I wouldn't recommend starting these stories with this book as it really does require a full background to achieve it's full impact.

My Favorite by Heinlein......

Revisado: 05-10-21

What can I say, Robert Heinlein at his best. A great story, well written, well told. A future that doesn't sound so distant anymore. The story is about the residents of Luna (the moon) populated originally as a prison and dumping ground for the unwanted populations of earth, must fight for their right to survive. Earth has been taking their natural resources without any replenishment, and treating them as slave labor. Soon there will be food riots, then cannibalism, unless they can convince Earth to listen. A power struggle that is mirrored by the consequences we are seeing on Earth today. A must read for ages 12 and up.

I cried again.....

Revisado: 05-26-20

I have read all of Anne McCaffrey's Pern books so many times you would think I would be hardened to the end of "Moreta: A dragon Lady of Pern" by now, but it is not so. The story of Moreta is mentioned often throughout the other books, so the ending isn't a suprise, just very emotional. A well written story. I recommend this book to all fans of pern, and I recommend all of the Pern books to everyone who likes to read. I still wish someone would make a movie series now that we have the digital ability to do justice to the dragons and thread fighting.

I love Robert Heinlein's stories

Revisado: 01-22-20

Anything by this author is worth reading of listening to. He has an understanding of human nature that allows a reader of any age to relate. The narration was very good.

I do not understand why they abridge Anne McCaffrey!

Revisado: 01-20-20

I wish I had read the reviews before I bought this book. This is one of my favorite stories, but I felt let down by this. It left too much out. I thought they were supposed to tell you when the book is abridged! Other than that, the reader did well.
