A Reprinting of Two Great Stories
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
There are a number of reviews that are negative simply because these stories were previously published as 2 separate novels, The Ship Who Won and The Ship Errant. They are missing the point. The point is that both of the original novels were wonderful! As always, Anne McCaffrey creates a rich and detailed universe and draws you into it on page one. If you already have both novels separately, then you don't need this one. If you don't, what better way than together in a shiny new hardback!
Repackaged books can be great

I hate to see a book containing two great stories receiving negative reviews simply because these stories were published previously. There are hundreds of great science fiction stories that have gone out of print over time. I think that these books being made available again is wonderful opportunity for readers to explore and enjoy great works from sf's past.
Response to various reviews

I have to laugh at how many people are apparently buying books because they have the nice and shiny 'new' label on them without taking the time to find out what the book is about. A little consumer sense instead of consuming instinct would probably serve _all_ consumers in good stead.As for me, I'm looking forward to getting a chance to read some books I missed out on their first time around.
