"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! "

    " 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). "

    " 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! "

    " 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. "
