About this ebook

Two Top-Selling Sequels to Anne McCaffrey's The Ship Who Sang in One Volume

Two novels in one large volume, both set in the same universe as The Ship Who Sang:

The Ship Who Searched:
Tia, a bright and spunky seven-year old contracted an unknown neural disorder which made her lose control of her body. So she became a shell person¾controlling a spaceship as if it were her body and searching for the origin of the disease that laid her low, so that no other little girl will ever suffer the fate of The Ship Who Searched.

PartnerShip:
Nancia is a brand new member of the elite Courier Service of the Central Worlds. She's the "brains" of an advanced interstellar ship. The last thing she needed was a cynical "brawn" partner like Forister. But idealistic Nancia and worldly-wise Forister together just might save the galaxy. Neither of them would be satisfied to go through life in a glorified wheelchair; like Helva, The Ship Who Sang, they decided to strap on a spaceship!

At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).

Ratings and reviews

I fell in love with brain ships before Star Track aired. Andre Norton , Anne McCaffrey , Robert Heinlein , Mercedes Lackey , Patricia Briggs And so many others over time . So safe at home , senior Apts. For years I've been trying to find Answers . People schools , that didn't correct Bully's, I'm old enough to call B.S. the World hasn't changed that much. Mores the shame.

Two Anne McCaffree stories for the cost of one! Loved every moment of her books. Three cheers for brain ships!

Great books. Nancia and Tia are wonderfull characters. I would love to read more about them.
