Work detailsPartnerShip by Anne McCaffrey (1992)
None.  wyvernfriend | Nov 8, 2012 |  Newly commissioned Brainship Nancia has a lot to learn about the world, friendship, partnership, and people. The high families passengers she hosts, flying solo on her first mission, are certainly not the ones to emulate - she's sure of that. But will the high moral standards of her new brawn be just as bad? An old favorite much reread. (  ) SunnySD | Aug 30, 2011 | SHIP  rustyoldboat | May 28, 2011 | A non-taxing, good, warm fuzzy read.: The fascinating concept of brainships is wedded with recognition of society's responsibility to maximize the potential of it's members. Nancia's growth from naive newness to flexible adulthood is accompanied by normal emotional trauma. Self awareness, recognition of self worth and valuation of others are wrapped in an entertaining reading experience. Cynical recognition of who you know rather than what you know doesn't detract from the message or the idealistic theme that good works and good will can triumph. euang | Sep 1, 2008 | In keeping with the other titles of the Brainship series, PartnerShip could have been called "The Ship That Overheard." The plot focuses on the moral conundrum of formally and officially revealing information regarding illegal activities obtained from casual eavesdropping. The rotation of point of view between six characters makes identifying with any individual character initially difficult. Unlike other novels in the Brainship series, the reader is thrust into the role of observer. The storyline is issue-driven with the action scenes occurring mostly in the last half of the novel. PartnerShip is a coming-of-age story where ethics are shown to be more varied than black or white, and grey is the hardest, but truest, compass to follow.

It's an interesting story, delving occasionally into issues like family relationships and honour; how sometimes even if someone appears to be good or evil they aren't and how sometimes people grow apart.
This isn't my first read of this story, nor will it be my last. This year I've been revisiting Anne McCaffrey because of her death and it's a bittersweet joy to read this. (
