Summary: Absolutely spectacular; classic sci-fi, classic McCaffrey
Review: Although I loved the Rowan books and the Pern books with all my bookworm heart, my mind always turns back to this little two-book miniseries. This novel may seem like a history of the Rowan universe, but its really an amazing book in its own right. I beleve that To Ride Pegasus and Pegasus in Flight should be considered compulsory reading for any sci-fi or fantasy fan.

Summary: To Ride Pegasus is a fantastic adventure!
Review: Anne McCaffrey is a powerful writer who has the ability to reach out and take the reader on an amazing journey. To Ride Pegasus is just the first of a series of fantastic stories about mind over matter. I highly recommend this book and Pegasus in Flight, The Rowan, Damia, Damia's Children, and Lyon's Pride. If you've not read them all, you are missing a great adventure. You will want the stories to go on and on.

Summary: A Page Flipper
Review: Every now and then you come across a book that you had to continue to read. That by the time you finished the book you were thanking the author for writing such a good book, yet cursing her for not writing a longer book. Well that is how it was for me; the problem being that I have neglected my homework over the past two days. If Anne McCaffrey�s other series (Pern, etc�) are like this, I will have to be careful that I have no essays due then. This novel deals with a group of people who have different telepathic �Talents�. The strength of the book, besides the smooth writing style, is how the book was divided and the stories they told. The first story is more or less an introduction, then a generation later the other three stories tell us about Ruth and her latent but most interesting power, about the Maggie 'O tragedy and last about Amalda, a broadcasting empath. The only hitch to the book is that it was written in 1973 so for us who have been swamped be the �X-Files�, the lack of government conspiracy may not seem just right. Remember when you open the book to set aside a day or two.

Summary: A dissenting opinion
Review: Has the episodic feel of something that was serialized originally. I didn't really get to the point of "caring" about any of the characters--and some of the most interesting were either minor or were antagonists. Even the interesting ones were far from three-dimensional. It's OK if you want to read a dated attempt to treat parapsychic phenomena--but there's better treatments out there.

Summary: A must have for any Anne McCaffrey reader.
Review: I read the "Rowan" series before I found this book. I actually started reading it only because it was written by Anne McCaffrey (one of the best in the business). Not long after I began reading I realized this was the precursor to the "Rowan" universe. This book was a surprise. A wonderful book written by one of the greatest authors in any universe.

Review: I read the entire Rowan series (gobbled it up I should say and I do that with all McCaffrey's books). However, somehow I had previously missed the two Pegasus books, which are truly the predecessors to the series. I ordered them from Amazon.com on 8/27, recieved them on 8/29 and had them both (see also Pegasus in Flight) read by 8/30.They are both excellent background material about the op Owen family and how telepathy and kinetics came to be used in space. Thank you Anne for yet another wonderful book and thank you Amazon.com for helping me find my missing readings.

Summary: Background to the Rowan/Raven universe
Review: If you have read and liked McCaffrey's other telepath books you will be interested to learn background information about the beginning of the telepath/teleport organisation. Of course the story has aged quite a lot (the dates given in the story have already long past - the trouble with setting things in the near future!), but the concepts are still interesting. The plot progresses through short stories - which makes it a little disjointed. Following on in this timeline are "Pegasus in flight" and "Pegasus in space" which are in standard novel form.
