Freedom’s Ransom Audiobook

" Definitely not Anne McCaffrey's best work. Good ideas, but somewhat jerky writing. "

" All in all, a disappointing addition to the series. Book 3 provided a satisfying conclusion. This audio version is also read only by one male reader, who was a good reader, but the jarring switch in Kris's voice is hard to enjoy after listening to such a brilliant female reader for the first three stories. Too many characters, not enough plot, and an altogether disappointing read, though....it's Anne McCaffrey...and a spark of the magic shines through now and again. Next reread, I'll stop at book 3. "

" The first two books in this series were reliably pretty good s-f. The third book was mediocre. This, I assume, was awful but I couldn't finish it. It begins with a discussion of economics and treaties. Just when you think that is awful and it can't get much worse, it moves on to a discussion of dentistry. Want to know how a gold cap is made? Me neither. She was getting old by the time this was published, and I guess between the first book of the series and this, we can see deterioration. "

" FINALLY finished this @#$%er. why she didn't end it as a trilogy is beyond me. "

" What happens after the diverse settlers of Botany succeed in their revolution? They become obsessed with coffee. "

" I wish there was more..... "

" This was my favorite of the series...I really got into all the post-intergalactic imprerialism trading (that sounds really nerdy, but it was interesting). "

" if you're into sci-fi then this is pretty interesting. i enjoyed this series. "

" Too much coffee!!! Not enough science fiction. "

" The book was good but it seems like it was a set up for the next one and there is no next one :( "

" I really don't remember where this story went without looking it up, but I'm just partial to everything she's written. "

" A wonderful conclusion to this quartet! "

" This series was never as good as its first book and this volume was a microcosm of the whole series. Okay science fiction. Not sure I read any more MCCaffrey after this work. "

" Pleasant story. Not a lot of action. Doesn't really carry the series forward, but it was nice to see how everyone was doing. These are nice characters. "

" I couldn't even finish this book. "

" Having thrown off the yolk of the Catteni, the people of Botany attempt to establish trade with Eartd and Barevi. Kris and her Catteni mate Zainal also try to find the locations of other planets where Earth disetants have been ddropped. "

" Read the first 3, then skip this one. It's really weak, the whole plot centers around finding more coffee for the colony. Seriously. "
