Publisher Description
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!
At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).

Customer Reviews
Entertaining
5 stars despite the stories being in the wrong order. Also, why does it still say it’s a sample when I have paid in full?
Brain ships and Brawns
Anne McCaffrey writes with such vividness that one hates to come to the end of one of her books. There's a sense of loss - your friends have ended their story and there's nowhere else to turn to.
This story goes through the maturation of the Brainship and you can see her growing while accepting her 1st Brawn's decisions and starting to question things.
I didn't want to put it down and it's now almost 1:30am and I have to work tomorrow!
We lost a great authoress. I've read her books since the 70's. No one compares ...
Worth the read
I remember when I first picked up these novels. I have come back to reread them many times over the years.
If you like futuristic settings, hopping through the univers and a good story. Then this book is for you.
