This story is awesome. I first read this as a teenager and Public Voice This story is awesome. I first read this as a teenager and loved the way the author took me into the future and to outer worlds. I loved this book then and I will continue to love this novel and storyline now and into the future.. "Awesome beginning of series" according to My Thoughts. I've read this before, very captivating characters, captivating storyline. Not finished reading it again, yet, but I can't put it down once I start reading. There's something about turning pages of an actual book that doesn't come from a tablet/kindle that I really prefer.. My kinda girl This first of the tower and hive series is excellent, I really enjoyed it. Probably the best of the 5. FYI I am a Pern fan.
