Two Top-Selling Sequels
to Anne McCaffrey's
The Ship Who Sang
in One Volume
Two novels in one large volume, both set in the same universe as The Ship Who Sang: The Ship Who Searched: Tia, a bright and spunky seven-year old contracted an unknown neural disorder which made her lose control of her body. So she became a shell person—controlling a spaceship as if it were her body and searching for the origin of the disease that laid her low, so that no other little girl will ever suffer the fate of The Ship Who Searched. PartnerShip: Nancia is a brand new member of the elite Courier Service of the Central Worlds. She's the "brains" of an advanced interstellar ship. The last thing she needed was a cynical "brawn" partner like Forister. But idealistic Nancia and worldly-wise Forister together just might save the galaxy. Neither of them would be satisfied to go through life in a glorified wheelchair; like Helva, The Ship Who Sang, they decided to strap on a spaceship!

"A perfect combination of SF, adventure, and romance, this is sure to please a wide variety of readers." —Kliatt

Product ReviewI enjoyed the premise of this series of books when I was younger, and the fact that I still remember the stories 20 years and 100's of other scifi books later indicates to me, how talented McCaffrey and Lackey have been in their writing individually and as a team.

Product ReviewI like serials. I like when an author have time and space to build a believable universe. And I think I have read one or two of McCaffrey dragonbooks 35 years ago, so I was looking forward to start on a new series WITH SPACESHIPS!
Sadly, I am disappointed. I even bought "The Ship Who Sang" (Google Play Book) so I could get a proper start. The characters did not engage me. I really could not be bothered to care about them. The "universe" is the ship with a few vaguely defined planets/spaceports and a non-descript central agency/government. It is not a proper series. It is a conglomerate of independent novels, vaguely related by technology but nothing else. I want stories where one or more technologies profoundly change human society and pushes us in a different direction.Posted on

Product ReviewAlthough nowhere near as good as The Ship Who Sang, these two are still somewhat entertaining and provide more insights into McCaffrey's B&B universe. Partnership seemed stilted and leaned too heavily on technobabble in some parts, not really redeeming itself with plot. The Ship Who Searched was definitely better, with characters who felt real rather than contrived. Partnership was almost "join the dots to make the plot".

Product ReviewThe first story, The Ship Who Searched with Mercedes Lackey was lovely. The story flowed well and the choices of the characters were believable, if the love story a little forced. Personal opinion. The second story - Partnership with Margaret Ball, was horrible! The entire thing was very contrived, each villain was a caricature with no unique development the 'hero' was fumbling through without a clue! Overall I am highly disappointed.
