DESCRIPTION:
Elliot Knuth said This book is excellent stand alone. This has always been one of my favorite books. This ebook is basically a direct (and well ported) copy of the physical version.While this is the second book in the Tower and The Hive series, and the first is currently unavailable in e-format, this book can easily be read as a stane alone as a a portion of it is a retelling of the first from a different point of view (my favorite character's to be precise). Jack_and_Lois_in_TX said Book two of a favorite series. The Tower and the Hive is one of my favorite sci-fi series. The premise is that there are people who have extraordinary mental and psi powers. They are employed by the government to communicate and transport cargo through intra- and inter-stellar space. The series follows a family of people with these talents through a variety of encounters with alien civilizations, exploring their own personal challenges in the process. There are some mature themes in some of the books which might not be suitable for younger readers, but otherwise this is a very entertaining read for anyone from late teens o. "A book that makes you laugh, cry and some times plane scared." according to Grumpy Granny. Ann McCaffery has long been a favorite Author. I was so happy to find a novel that was new to me and I was not disappointed. Her imagination knows no bounds. The people come alive as you read and you can almost see where they are. Some may be disappointed when it comes to the sex but My imagination is as good if not better, so I really don't need a blow by blow description. She creates heart pounding excitement and at times I could cry but I like it better when she makes me laugh. Thank You Ann McCaffery.
