Finally reading the Talents and Tower series back to back, in chronological order, and it's made it much more enjoyable! Here we're following Peter Reidinger (I) and the others as humans and Talents start to expand their working environment.

I got access to this audiobook this weekend and although I did want to get the rest of them I wasn't able to so listened to it anyways. The narrator has some extra stunts to represent the mindspeaking to each other, the intercom etc and it about drove me batty but it was to a fair degree understandable but just barely as there was a couple of times I wasn't sure what was said. Anne McCaffrey is one of my ultimate favourite writers and I was not let down in the slightest even with the displeasing narration of her fantastic book. I was even forcing myself to stay awake longer just to be able to attempt to finish it but had to give up and shut it off as there was too much to listen to and I did need to sleep desperately. I finished it off today and wanting more but it was a good ending and wrapped it up nicely.

The last of the Pegasus trilogy is magnificent. Reading this was transcendent, imagining the what-if gestalt and telekinetic abilities were in our physical world, of the possibilities. The end of the novel forms the setup of Federated Telepath & Teleport - the organization in The Tower and Hive series.

(Granted, the thought of our planet, at this point in time in terms of general political and social landscape setting off to colonize other worlds is a bit terrifying. More so now on typing this from my phone to computer for posting just before New Years)

I teared up a bit, during the epilogue, as to explore space, to visit other worlds I have hungered to do since I was very young watching Star Trek - and will be unlikely to ever be able to do.

I didn't remember much about this one except some vague details about Peter. I enjoyed it more than the previous book because there was less child abuse and more character growth.

Riveting. Could not put it down, spent the entire day reading from cover to cover. A little technical in spots but engrossing.

I reread it without knowing I had read it before. It didn't make much of an impression then and makes about the same now.

I love the talent sequence but it seems, like Star Trek, you want to stick with the even ones.

I always forget how much less interesting this one is than Pegasus in Flight. It starts with similar multiple POVs and then narrows down pretty much entirely to Peter's story. The sabotage plot is a surprise, but it just trails off mid-solve, leaving about a huge chunk of book to Peter revolutionizing gestalt/telekinesis/space travel. Which is theoretically neat - but if you've read any of the Tower books, you ALREADY KNOW ALL OF THIS.

Also, criminal lack of Tirla and she is the best.
