Book description
The brain was perfect, the tiny, crippled body useless. So technology
rescued the brain and put it in an environment that conditioned it to
live in a different kind of body - a spaceship. Here the human mind,
more subtle, infinitely more complex than any computer ever devised,
could be linked to the massive and delicate strengths, the total recall,
and the incredible speeds of space. But the brain behind the ship was
entirely feminine - a complex, loving, strong, weak, gentle savage - a
personality, all-woman, called Helva... Anne McCaffrey, the Hugo award
winning author of the bestselling Dragonriders of Pern novels, is one of
science fiction's most popular authors. She lives in a house of her own
design, Dragonhold-Underhill, in County Wicklow, Ireland. Visit the
