The Ship Who Searched by Anne McCaffrey,Mercedes Lackey Pdf

A young woman becomes paralyzed and must become a brainship¾and find her Brawn, her human soul mate, so that she can discover a cure for her illness. Tia Cade is a headstrong, smart, and very normal girl until she contracts a terrible illness that leaves her with the bare semblance of life. Tia's only hope: to become the oldest person ever to train to be one of the legendary star travelers, the brainships. But now that Tia is free of her ravaged body, there still remains the task of finding the right partner to be her Brawn, the human element every brainship requires. And when the disease that debilitated Tia threatens thousands more, selecting a Brawn who is her true soul mate may allow Tia to find the origin of the terrible plague¾and perhaps even a cure.

The Ship Who Saved the Worlds by Anne McCaffrey,Jody Lynn Nye Pdf

Two complete novels in one huge volume: The Ship Who Won: Like Helva, the Ship Who Sang, Carialle was born severely physically disadvantaged; and like Helva, Carialle decided she would strap on a spaceship. Her brawn is a guy named Keff. Searching the galaxy for intelligent beings, they found fuzzy little aliens, polite and eager to please. Unfortunately, they were slaves to a race of sorcerers, who possess powers of frightening potency, and who were neither polite nor the least bit eager to please. The Ship Errant: Carialle and Keff had succeeded in liberating the "globe-frogs" from their servitude to dictatorial humans, but now they must return them from whence they came. And to get there, they must transit a sector where Carialle was stopped and boarded, experiencing a trauma so intense it nearly destroyed her mind. And it's beginning to look as if the beings who caused this are the very globe-frogs they have just made friends with. . . .

Join Anne's co-writers, fellow science fiction authors, family, and friends in remembering her life, and exploring how her mind and pen shaped not only the Weyrs of Pern, but also the literary landscape as we know it.

The City Who Fought by Anne McCaffrey,S.M. Stirling Pdf

A SCIENCE FICTION CLASSIC BACK IN PRINT! Simeon was a shell-person—the brain who ran Space Station SSS-900 on the fringes of human space. But things hadn’t been going too well lately, and he was more than a little discontented. Though normally he enjoyed his work, these days it seemed boring. To make matters worse, his long-time partner had just retired and he was having a hard time adjusting to his newly assigned brawn—a strong-willed woman named Channa Hap who seemed to feel it her duty to keep him in line. He’s buried himself in his favorite pastime—wargaming. Simeon’s hobby would find unexpected uses when the brutal Kolnari attack the nearby colony planet Bethel. Sheltering the colony’s refugees brought “the city” an invitation to serious trouble with Kolnari pirates. And only Simeon and Channa working together can save the city. At the publisher’s request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).

Far Horizons by Robert Silverberg Pdf

Eleven science fiction stories from noted authors exploring some of their most popular worlds. The universe of the mind is a limitless expanse of wonders, filled with worlds and secrets that cannot be fully explored within the pages of a single novel. Here, science fiction’s most beloved and highly honored writers revisit their best-known worlds in perhaps the greatest concentration of science fiction ever in one volume. Featuring stories by: Ursula K. Le Guin Joe Halderman Orson Scott Card David Brin Robert Silverberg Dan Simmons Nancy Kress Frederik Pohl Gregory Benford Anne McCaffrey Greg Bear Praise for Far Horizons “Editor Silverberg here does for science fiction series what he did for fantasy sagas in Legends: Stories by the Masters of Modern Fantasy by presenting eleven noted authors of famous series, each exploring some aspect of theirs that they did not find a way of dealing with in the books of the series proper. . . . The stories remain true to their universes and characters, so they deliver good first-contact experiences for series novices as well as happy reading for longtime fans.” —Booklist “A sampler of the best of the genre. Highly recommended for series fans and newcomers alike and a good choice for most sf collections.” —Library Journal “An ideal combination of the reassuringly familiar and the excitingly new: should prove as popular as its fantasy predecessor.” —Kirkus Reviews
