I hadn't read the Brainship books in years so I decided it was time for a re-read and I happy to report that they stood up to the test of time. I really enjoyed the story and found myself very interested in the characters in these books. I am super glad I read them again. ( ) In McCaffrey's Brainships universe, children who are born with an immobilizing or other severe disability are raised and educated to be the 'brains' that steer Starships. They are also assigned a "Brawn" to be their companion and assist with activities that can only be done by a person with a functional body. This is a continuation of the previous in the series, featuring our friends Cari and Keff as the Brain/Brawn pair in their attempt to re-introduce the original denizens of Ozran to their long-lost cousins, the Cridi. Themes include xenophobia, diplomacy as well as a little romance as a previous character in the series has poured a lot of R&D capital into developing temporary 'bodies' for our brainy friends. All in all, a lovely note on which to end the series, but I wish there was more. Note: Officially, this is the 6th book in the series, but as the 7th is more of a companion to the 4th, I read it in 5th, and ended with this one. I recommend that, especially if you're not a terribly quick reader or are reading other things in between and have a tendency not to remember the events of previous series books. no reviews | add a review
