After finding "Decision at Doona" and "Crisis on Doona" to be two of the best books I've read recently, I started in on this one with great anticipation. It's hard not to want to read more about Doona and some of the characters we've come to love.

The book was generally good and enjoyable, and was time well spent, but in my opinion it was weaker than the first two. The plot didn't seem as well constructed, and some threads were not adequately developed or resolved. I kept waiting for the story to kick into high gear, but except for a few tense moments, it seemed to just coast along.

I too hope there are more books in this series. And I hope that McCaffrey (now 73) has given Nye her blessing to continue the series if she dies anytime soon.

This is a truly great ending to the Doona trilogy; just one problem: I want more! The ending of the book just begged for at least one more enstallment to this lovely series. Though there was one thing that I did not like and that was the fact that Spacedep was the antagonist in all three books. I should think that after the first two incidents involving Spacedep that they would have tried to keep it out of the Gringg affair. But all in all, a great book and *hopefully* more to come.

Now that I know Decision at Doona has sequels, I got both, and can't wait to read them! I have as complete a collection of her Pern, Acorna, Brainship, now Doona, plus certain misc. books of hers, as I can get. She's a fantastic author, along with her son, and co-authors who do great jobs furthering her worlds. Linda
