5.0 out of 5 stars
Part two of the Rissa Kerguelen trilogy,
By Floridalady "floridalady" (LUTZ, FL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rissa And Tregare (Mass Market Paperback)
While this book can be read independently of the series, I have found it better to read it in its proper order. First comes "Young Rissa" where the foundation of the story line is laid out and character personalities are developed; important characters are introduced as well. In "Rissa and Tregare" Rissa matures as does her relationship with Bran Tregare. Lots of action and more foundations are laid for the final book in the trilogy called "The Long View". The books uses physics ... but not to an overpowering degree. The storyline is grounded in reality and is good sci-fi.

A Classic in SCi Fi,
By "ratmate" (grover beach, ca USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rissa And Tregare (Mass Market Paperback)
I was first introduced to F. M. Busby in college years ago and it turned into a long love affair. "Rissa and Tregare" was the first book I purchased. It is a book you would be hard pressed to put down. Clear your calender before staring this book and have lots of coffee handy!

A Beloved Classic,
By
This review is from: Rissa and Tregare (Paperback)
Some twenty five years later I still remember this book for its combination of science fiction, social commentary, and the romance between Rissa and Bran. It made such an impact on me that I remembered the title instantly. It's one of my favorite books and I highly recommend it!
