À propos de cet audio

 Told in the timeless style of Anne McCaffrey, The Rowan is the first installment in a wonderful trilogy. This is sci-fi at its best: a contemporary love story as well as an engrossing view of our world in the future.

The kinetically gifted, trained in mind/machine gestalt, are the most valued citizens of the Nine Star League. Using mental powers alone, these few Prime Talents transport ships, cargo, and people between Earth's Moon, Mars' Demos and Jupiter's Callisto.

An orphaned young girl, simply called The Rowan, is discovered to have superior telepathic potential and is trained to become Prime Talent on Callisto.

After years of self-sacrificing dedication to her position, The Rowan intercepts an urgent mental call from Jeff Raven, a young Prime Talent on distant Deneb. She convinces the other Primes to merge their powers with hers to help fight off an attack by invading aliens.

Her growing relationship with Jeff gives her the courage to break her status-imposed isolation, and choose the more rewarding world of love and family.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"In this sensitive portrayal (expanded from the author's first published story, 'Lady in the Tower') McCaffrey draws a warm and vivid picture of a struggling frontier society." ( Publishers Weekly)

Well read. Did the book justice. It's one of McCaffrey better series and always worth a read... or in this case listen.

Love the book

I thought this was a 1950s novel, it had that feel to it. Definitely YA which I did not realise when I downloaded. First half of the book was interesting, some nice world building etc. But then The Rowan finds her soul mate and the story becomes less interesting.

#Audible1 I love Anne McCaffrey's work, and will always miss her. The story telling is amazing, and the Narration matches it. I have probably read this book a dozen times in my life, and Jean Reed Bahle does an amazing job. She makes scenes I have only been able to imagine come to life. She makes characters who have been my lifetime friends even more beloved. This book was fantastic, and I am so glad to have it in my library.

One of my favourite books by an amazing author

The story started off interesting enough but just slowly dragged on going nowhere. And when something finally happens at the end I found myself just bored wanting it to just end.

Not for me
