About this ebook

A classic sci-fi novel from the beloved author of the Dragonriders of Pern® series
 
She was a restoree, kidnapped. Torn from Earth by a bizarre and nameless black force, Sara had no idea where she was or why she was in a beautiful new body. Controlled by brutal guards and tamed by terror, she could not comprehend her role as a nurse for a man who appeared to be an idiot.
 
But once she discovered that the planet she had been brought to was Lothar and that the man she was caring for was its regent, Sara knew the restorees had to escape—and fast. And when they did, they became fugitives on a world of multiple evils—bound together on a daring adventure that would either join them for all time . . . or separate them forever.

Ratings and reviews

Been devouring McCaffrey's tales since the early 70s when I discovered a Dragon's of Pern short story in a sci-fi mag. Never ran across this one before!

5 stars not because it is great, but, because Anne had a wicked sense of humor, poking fun of the science fiction genre by writing a 'scifi' novel that had all the stereotypes. This was intentional. I miss you Anne.

My mom covinced me to read this book when i was in high school. I loved it. I still read it at least once if not twice a year.
