About this listen

Killashandra Ree has spent ten grueling years in musical training, anticipating interstellar celebrity as a vocal soloist. She is young, beautiful—and still without prospects. After learning that a flaw in her voice will prevent her from singing lead, she hears of the mysterious Heptite Guild on the planet Ballybran, where the fabled Black Crystal is found. Mining this strange form of crystal is a dangerous occupation but to Killa, the risks are acceptable. Remarkably, her adaptation to crystal mining is unusually rapid and easy and Killashandra advances quickly. The problem is—few people who land on Ballybran ever leave.

I remember reading this book in 1993 to 1995. I read all three in the spans of about a month and a half. they were my girlfriend's books and I really enjoyed them then and I enjoyed them listening to them now. very interesting and entertaining

Overall, I enjoyed it like I did the book. however, the narrator just couldn't quite manage some of the accents she tried. I listened over a car trip, though, and it really helped keep me awake and focused.

Great Stuff!

narration was good. very disappointed because major passages were omitted. I didn't want the short story, I thought I was buying the full version. I hope you don't do this with all the books
