1.0 out of 5 stars reprints with different names, November 8, 2003

This review is from: Brain Ships (PartnerShip & The Ship Who Searched) (Hardcover)

I do love these authors and was so glad to find a new book. But. . . it is a collection of two books I already have put into one volume with a new name. Not quite the nice reading time I was looking forward to. I won't be the only one to buy it without knowing this so look for used "like new" to be available quickly. This is The Ship Who Searched and Partnership simply put in one volume. If you want these two books it is a good deal - if not . . .

4.0 out of 5 stars Omnibus, February 1, 2004

When I bought this book I had the feeling it might be an omnibus of old books (because most of the new Anne McCaffrey books lately have been). But I didn't mind since I am just now starting the Brain Ship series. This omnibus contains "The Ship Who Searched" and "PartnerShip". I enjoyed both stories and look forward to reading the others in the series. I would recommend this book to anyone who doesn't already have these two books but is an Anne McCaffrey fan. Otherwise, you should probably skip the book.

I was so excited for a new Anne McCaffrey, and it's not new at all. If you already own these pretty old stories, don't bother with this book -- it's nothing new.
