Editorial Reviews

From Kirkus Reviews

Another entry in the Brain/Brawn series created by Anne McCaffrey, and a direct sequel to the paperback The City Who Fought (McCaffrey and Stirling); ``brains'' are humans wired directly and immovably into their spaceships, ``brawns'' their mobil human partners. Planet Bethel bigwig Amos ben Sierra Nueva and his daughter Soamosa are kidnapped by the evil mutant, Belazair of Kolnar, in revenge for a previous defeat; Belazair plans to infect Amos with a contagious brain-destroying virus and then send him back to Bethel. So, after some arm-twisting by secret agent Bros Sperin, spaceship Wyal (brain: Rand; brawn: Joat Simeon-Hap) speeds to the rescue, though Joat and Rand don't yet know about the virus. But then Belazair's kindly son, Karak, refuses to torture Soamosa; instead he falls in love and escapes with her. Joat, meanwhile, discovers that one of Belazair's key associates is the drug-ruined uncle who, when she was a small girl, sold her into slavery in settlement of a gambling debt. Not to worry, though: In McCaffrey universes, the good guys always win in the end. Pretty good ersatz McCaffrey, despite the feebly unconvincing love story. -- Copyright ©1996, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved.

Review

It's not necessary to have read The City Who Fought in order to enjoy this sequel, though familiarity will certainly lend to this title's appeal. One of the youngest commercial ship owners finds her cargo a carrier ship for a deadly worlds-destroying infection in this compelling story of resourcefulness and politics in space. -- Midwest Book Review

I was ecstatic to be able to get this book and had been looking for it for a number of years as it was never released here in NZ. It had always nagged at me a bit that the story of Joat didn't end with "The City Who Fought" by Anne McCaffery and S.M. Stirling but I couldn't get it. This book resonates with most women and definately with the kiwi idea anything can be overcome with ingenuity and many pieces of No 8 wire and the bad guy will always lose

I thought I was getting a paperback, but this is the hardback book. It came in "NEW" condition and is wonderful. It's a pleasure to enjoy this book. I'm re-reading this series for the first time in 45 years. It's just as enjoyable as I remember it.

This arrived very quickly. It is in very good condition. I agree with some other readers that it is not a very strong storyline, but nice to find out what happened to Joat.

An excellent sequel to "The City That Fought". Joat faces a real dillema and an old foe. A must read, especially if you read the first story.
