Rating: Summary: Sorry, I agree with everyone else... Review: I bought this book, not realizing that It was just a re-hash of her old books.I noticed that the publisher is doing this with a LOT of McCaffrey's books. I had added these on my wishlist before they were published, because it *looked* like they were new stories. Too bad. I should have waited for the synopsis.
Rating: Summary: Sorry, I agree with everyone else... Review: I hate to see a book containing two great stories receiving negative reviews simply because these stories were published previously. There are hundreds of great science fiction stories that have gone out of print over time. I think that these books being made available again is wonderful opportunity for readers to explore and enjoy great works from sf's past.

Rating: Summary: Another reprint with a new name Review: I have as of now quit buying these "new" books until I see a few reviews, having been burned twice now by buying what I think is a new book and getting old books with a new name.
Rating: Summary: Response to various reviews Review: I have to laugh at how many people are apparently buying books because they have the nice and shiny 'new' label on them without taking the time to find out what the book is about. A little consumer sense instead of consuming instinct would probably serve _all_ consumers in good stead. As for me, I'm looking forward to getting a chance to read some books I missed out on their first time around.
Rating: Summary: Another reprint with a new name Review: I wish I'd seen a review of this book before i bought it! Nothing in the advertising told that it was a reprint of two old stories. I bought it expecting a wonderful new Anne Mccaffrey book and got stuck with reprints of two books that i already own. Amazon needs to alert readers to reprint books.

Rating: Summary: A Reprinting of Two Great Stories Review: There are a number of reviews that are negative simply because these stories were previously published as 2 separate novels, The Ship Who Won and The Ship Errant. They are missing the point. The point is that both of the original novels were wonderful! As always, Anne McCaffrey creates a rich and detailed universe and draws you into it on page one. If you already have both novels separately, then you don't need this one. If you don't, what better way than together in a shiny new hardback!

Rating: Summary: Reprint of two older books Review: This is a great book if you don't previously have the two books that are compiled here. I did have the two books and was disappointed that the description did not say that this was a compilation of the two brain ship books about Carialle and Keff. Therefore, I am returning the book.
