The Ship Who Won

By: Anne McCaffrey

Narrated by: Constance Towers

Carialle was born so physically disadvantaged that her only chance for life was as a shellperson. As the brain, Carialle, is a bodiless human wired into a spaceship, while her human partner, Keff, is the brawn. Their mission: to search the galaxy for intelligent beings. Intelligent life is thin on the galactic ground, so when Carialle and Keff arrive on a very nice little world with very nice little aliens—fuzzy, polite, and eager to please—they are overjoyed. But appearances are deceiving—their fuzzy friends turn out to be virtual slaves to a race of sorcerers who seem to possess magical powers of frightening potency. By the time the explorers discover the planet's secrets, they find themselves in a desperate battle to save it.

Critic reviews

"[T]he two [authors] blend their skills effectively to produce a brisk, well-told, often amusing tale that does not strive to do more than entertain but does so admirably. Fans of either author, or both, will have fun with this book." (Booklist)

I'm an Anne McCaffrey fan

I've read this title probably three times. Reading is much harder for me so I am re-reading with audible. Listening to this book made me wonder why I read it so many times. Constance Towers was ok, it is hard to use different voice tones for so many characters. I doubt I will re-listen to this book again.

I love"The Ship Who" series.

The stories are short and entertaining. I have enjoyed all of them, especially this one.

Abridged. Buy the full length book.

Too much missing. It's abridged. I really miss the other adventures in the book. You know resistance to change didn't happen that easily.
