Summary: Book 2 in the Pegasus series
Review: Anne McCaffrey is the greatest. This book continues the story of psychically Talented individuals in the near future. The characters are getting filled out more in this book. You have to read this one second. Don't try to read it before To Ride Pegasus. Actually they could have easily been combined into one book. They are available as a double set and that is how I bought my copies. This series is a wonderful look at "what if" in our own society. A great read!!! Definitly follow up on the story by reading Pegasus in Space.

Summary: Very bright moments and very dull...overall, pretty good
Review: For those who have read To Ride Pegasus and the Talent series, Pegasus in Flight holds quite a few familiar surprises. One curious oddity is the titling of the two Pegasus books. Oddly enough, Pegasus In Flight was published before To Ride Pegasus. Even more interesting are the characters. It is recommended that you don't read the two books in order of publishing-instead, start on To Ride Pegasus and then move on to this also fine novel. The most interesting features of this novel are the appearances of familiar characters from other Talent Series books or their descendants or ancestors. We see Sascha Roznine, undoubtedly a relative of Vascha Roznine in TRP; we see Dorotea Horvarth and her son Miklos; Rhyssa Owen is undoubtedly the daughter of Daffy op Owen; and perhaps most heartening of all, we see the first Peter Reidinger. Later, in the Talent books, his descendant would become one of the best and most explosive personalities. This all is very good, as it binds the novel to others in the series.
Pegasus in Flight takes place one generation after To Ride Pegasus and centuries before the Rowan books. A call for Talents to work on the world-wide project of Padrugoi, which would be the stepping stone of mankind to the heavens, is led by the brutal Russian engineer Ludmilla Ivanova Barchenka, who will stop at nothing to strip Earth of its Talents. In the midst of this gigantic, frenetic circus of a project lies foul play-Rhyssa, her future love interest, and others uncover terrifying statistics of some "accidents" that have been occuring on Padrugoi.
In the meantime, Tirla is a scruffy girl living in the dark Linears of Jerhattan. Here she ekes out a living by helping alleyway mothers elude the illegal-peoples check as well as doing various other deeds. Her knack for languages makes her an important person in the Linear G-unknownst to her, this "knack" is actually a very strong Talent. In the meantime, Tirla struggles to elude the perverted Yassim, who deals in unsavory uses of children stolen from the Linears or sold by their parents.
Young Peter Reidinger was an ordinary boy until he was suddenly paralyzed. This paralysis forced his mind to transfer motor functions to another part of the brain-and gave him a powerful Talent.
Rhyssa, Sascha, Dave Lehardt and the other Talented strive to save the kidnapped Tirla and Peter whilst evading Ludmilla Barchenka's persistent assaults for kinetic Talents. And as they do, they meet danger, love, and dark plots and conspiracies head on.
Pegasus in Flight is rather disappointing when compared to its beautifully written followers. The plot was wonderfully done, only very often Anne would convolute or add some sort of detailing, or just something that would make it a little more "muddled". There are several very dry points, as in To Ride Pegasus, but there are some really wonderful scenes and pages and chapters that warrant reading over and over again.
Mostly Pegasus in Flight is a rather fine novel, but given a choice over this or the, say Rowan or Damia, the other Talent book would win. Series fans must read-as for others, it is a very good stepping stone into the Talent world, giving the reader a full immersion into this far-future series, but the Rowan serves the purpose just as well. Try it-you just might like it.

Summary: Interesting and fantastic...
Review: I borrowed this book from my school library, and it was interesting and fascinating. Enough so that I wanted to search for other books in this series! When I find the price of these other books, I will report on them!

Summary: ....A richly embroidered novel set in a realistic world
Review: I have read Pegasus In Flight twice and find it very interesting. The book's characters each have distinct personality which shows in their words and actions. The novel, like many by Anne McCaffrey, goes into detail about the scenario,ie, discriptions of the Linear Developments. I found the character of Tirla particularly interesting because even though she is just 12, she speaks and acts lika an adult. She has, in a sense, grown up as an adult. The only flaw I find is that it is not a good book for those who aren't good at inferring things about the plot. I suggest reading To Ride Pegasus first.

Summary: Good supplement to the Rowan series
Review: I like all McCaffrey's Talent series,and this one is quite good too,though the Rowan series is better.Still,I like reading the Pegasus books.It's interesting to learn about the Talents' adventures,and to find out about the life and problems of Talents at the beginning.This book is also full with adventures,so it's not boring;and it tells a lot about the people (Talents and non-Talents) that makes it not just an adventure novel.Nice reading,sort of like a supplement to the Rowan series.

Summary: What to read when you have the chicken pox.
Review: My sister bought me Pegasus in Flight when I was 16 and had the chicken pox. I'm 22 now and just love the book dearly. Althought my sis bought the book because I had a love of magical creatures, she should have bought it for the wonderful writting of McCaffrey. This book should be on the book list of ever Junior High School.

Summary: Must read!! Makes you think of your own Talents.
Review: Pegasus In Flight does not focus on too many details about the theories behind paranormal activities like telepathy, but it paints a wonderful and convincing story about possibilities, with a subtle touch on basic human qualities such as kindness, commitment and fighting for what's right. This book also empowers the reader to think of his own special talents and what contribution he makes with his own unigue gifts. It is really a wonderful blend of science fiction and the basic realities of life, that encourages the reader to fantisize about the possibilities. Exactly how all good science fiction should be!

Summary: Getting better, an improvement on the last book
Review: The writing here is tighter, and the plot is better. I liked the part about Tirla the best. I hope she has the best of luck!
The second part I liked was about Dortea playing the grandmother role. The funniest part was where she telepathically fusses at Sascha over the bill that Tirla has acquired over new clothing for herself. *grins*
Thumbs up for Daffyd. Who is better suited, ethically speaking, to the role as director for the parapsychic institute.
Not quite as good as the others, but better than TRP.

Summary: One of my fave McCaffery books :0)
Review: This is one of the few books by Anne McCaffery outside of the Pern series that I've read, and I like it the best. My fave character is Tirla, naturally. Her scruffy, capable attitude won me over right away. I didn't like Peter very much as the book progressed because he became really show-offy and arrogant. I hope Anne McCaffrey will write more books with heroines like Tirla (and Menolly) because they make for exciting and fun reading.
