The survival technique of the Hivers was terrifying -- and brilliant. Their huge Sphere ships, controlled by the Many Mind of ten to sixteen queens, surged out into space. When an appropriate planet was found, the Hivers destroyed any and every variety of indigenous life, the queens propagated, and when the new world was full, more ships were sent out. the colonization was repeated until no planet, no species, least of all Man and Mrdini, was safe. The furry and courageous Mrdini had fought the Hivers for centuries, many dying bravely in an attempt to save their own worlds. Now Mrdini and Man combined to form the Alliance -- and Humankind had their own weapons to offer -- the power and might of the Talents who could not only communicate silently with each other, but could project cargoes, ships and themselves across the deeps of space. The four children of Damia -- Laria, Thian, Rojer and Zara -- were Primes amongst the Talents, and all their skills were desperately needed, for the Hivers' terrible Sphere ships were still thrusting through space, unfathomable, impenetrable, and carrying death in their labyrinthine depths.

It is an adventure with telepaths doing their part. Be cautious of Bee's, be older than your are, be willing to try the impossable and accomplish it. Be caught up in the story and be part of what is going on. Ms McCaffrey writes to include the reader in what she writes. Feel part of what is going on. A very good read.

great reading
Who could possibly write a bad review of one of Ann McCaffrey's books? My favorites are the Dragons of Pern series, but this series was as good in it's way as the dragons. I really love all of her books.
