"A wonderful yarn that is like a ray of sunshine compared to a lot of books I have been reading lately. The sci-fi was backseat to the interaction of the fascinating characters. Definitely a lively read. " — Bradley (4 out of 5 stars)

" A brain ship is charged with delivering a group of graduates to their various planetary assignments. Most of the kids have nefarious plans for personal gain, which the ship must then thwart. "
" Technically a reread since I own a paperback copy of this book. Found most of the characters so unlikeable it was actually difficult to finish the book. "
" I've read and reread this - and still love it! "
" The characters in this volume are SO unlikeable, I'm not sure I'll finish. I love the premise of the series, and I'm sure I'll try some of the other books, but really. Ick. "
" Another of the human-ship stories, this basically follows a similar plot to the first one. "
" the love story of a brainship "
" Barely passable space opera with a simplistic plot and predictable, shallow characters with little or no plausible explanation for their motivations. "
" My least favorite Brainship book so far. "
" Book two of the brainship is not what I thought it would be. I figured it would be more about Helva. Instead, it is with a new brainship. I enjoyed it, but just wish we could see Helva again. "
" This book was very well written. I think I'm actually a bigger fan of Anne McCaffrey with Margaret Ball than I am of just Anne McCaffrey. "
" A wonderful yarn that is like a ray of sunshine compared to a lot of books I have been reading lately. The sci-fi was backseat to the interaction of the fascinating characters. Definitely a lively read. "
" When i first read this book, i didn't really like it, but strangely, it grew on me and i find that i DID like it. While not as much as other books, it still was an enjoyable book "
" The entire Brainship series is a joy–it's interesting to see the world from a point of view both incredibly powerful and incredibly helpless. "
