"Nice finish to the trilogy. It is a little unbelievable that the twins do all this stuff as ten year olds, but that is the beauty of a setting on a different planet -- they must have evolved differently from us in more ways than one! "
— Marissa (4 out of 5 stars)
Deluge Listener Reviews
-
" While I enjoyed the original Petaybee series, I'm clearly not in the target audience for the the second series (the target audience appears to be not terribly bright 7 year olds). "
— Janice, 1/9/2014 -
" I'm sorry to see this series (really a YA selection) be done. Fun for all! "
— Susan, 1/1/2014 -
" I loved the first series. When Ms. McCaffrey brought this back, I was happy, until this book. This book didn't do it for me. While I do like the twins and how they can shape shift, this one was crammed in with situations that were tedious and boring. "

" This is another series that I feel has gone on too long. It roams between planet-based and star station-based scenes and it's very hard to keep track of the younger generation. How funny - I read it exactly two years ago! "

" Purchased the Kindle edition from Amazon.com. "

" Enjoyable conclusion to the trilogy. I like how they kept returning to characters introduced in earlier volumes but not always in a predictable way. The second volume in the triology was my favorite, but this one served up some treats too. "

" The twins of Petaybee attempt to rescue friends and immigrants arrested by the InterGal Corporation and transported to a prison colony. On Petaybee the Corporation attempts to arrest and deport all the colonists so that they can regain their claim to the senient planet. "

" The best in the series for me. Good plot with a great blend of dangers and a nice resolution. "
— Jennifer, 5/23/2013 -
" Good book, but not as exciting as her earlier books. Seemed to be very much like the previous one in this series. "

" In my opinion, hardly worth a read, which is unfortunate. I enjoyed the original Petaybee trilogy very much, but this third installment in the second Petaybee trilogy was quite a letdown. "
— Brie, 9/6/2012 -
" Fun but not standalone. Relies on earlier books in the series. "
— KathyP, 8/30/2012 -
" Her writing is getting old. "

" A little grittier than the first two. A good read though, and I like how it wrapped it all up! "

" This was a fun book to read with my pre-teen daughter "

" Finale, much fun, interesting ending. Kinda got the feeling that they might continue with the series, though. "
