Lyon's Pride

This completes my digital collection of this series. My paperbacks with the old artwork are so spinebroken I havent re-read the series for years. Love these books.

I love this story -- in fact I love the series. I got introduced to this series by my daughter eons ago -- she asked for them for Christmas and I read all the books before I gave them to her because I wanted to make sure they were appropriate for a high school student. I was hooked then and they still hook me every time I read them. I would say that it helps to read these books in order since then you are grounded in the premise of the books. The Pegasus series (most of these books are a set of connected short stories) tells of the evolution of the development of the organization of the para-psychics into the FT&T that is well developed in the Tower Sseries. I won't summarize the story. This is the second to last book in the series and it shows the conflict that exists between the desire to a peaceful solution to conflict and the need to take more aggressive action - the latter concept being one developed more completely in the last book of the series. These books were written a long time ago, so be aware that especially the very early books have more primitive technology than we have today, but it is no worse than reading other books written years ago. These books are great for girls and boys, men and women -- the writing is great and there are none of those glaring inconsistencies between books in a series that seem to be prevalent in some of the newer series that I have read. Great books. I love science fiction but abhor graphic violence so I find myself reading Anne Mcaffery's books again frequently.

This was an enjoyable reread of one mine. However at 50 I am losing my connections with the younger characters. And being former military some of the scenes feel off but I have to remember Space military vs US Army training. US Army training does not apply. YA readers will enjoy and so with Anne's fans.

Fun continuation of the Rowan series! Anne Mccaffrey has a gift for creating relatable characters, and though these weren't her most vibrant characters ever it was a fun read and very enjoyable.

Rereading these after years away and life moving along, I was almost reading a new novel from the mothers perspective. I always wanted more to this series as by this novel I’d fallen in love with the characters. Will be an enjoyable reread again in a few years.

The book was fantastic. The twists and turns of the story were great. The pace and the dialogue of the story were wonderful. Thank you so very much for sharing your world with the public.

A child hood fan, and had to have the complete collection.

Beginning with "To Ride Pegasus" and "Pegasus in Flight," each of McCaffrey's books dealing with Talents (people gifted with ESP abilities) also deals with ethical questions: What is ethical behavior for a Talent? What are Talents' obligations to society? McCaffrey outlined a code of conduct to answer these questions, and in this book both the code and its adherents are put to the test: the characters deal with ethical dilemmas as well as physical dangers, personality conflicts, space travel, personal relationships, and the ultimate goal of finding a way to survive and restrain the lethal Hive Culture without copying its methods. Slower paced because of the material (and space!) it covers, Lyon's Pride is an indispensable part of the Tower and Hive Series: 1. The Rowan 2. Damia 3. Damia's Children 4. Lyon's Pride 5. The Tower and the Hive. Enjoy!
