From AudioFile

Anne McCaffrey's matter-of-fact and straightforward storytelling makes credible this tale of the universe being colonized by humans, a few of whom have telekinetic and telepathic powers. The love story between the Rowan and Jeff Raven is the focus. Jean Reed-Bahle's skillful narration is as fast-paced as the storyline, and she has a broad range of voices. The use of an echo effect when characters communicate telepathically is appropriate and effective. Brilliance has produced a program that listeners from teenagers to adults will enjoy. S.K.
