Powers That Be

Petabybee Trilogy

By: Anne McCaffrey, Elizabeth Ann Scarborough

Narrated by: Marina Sirtis

Strange things are happening on the icy planet of Petaybee. Unauthorized, genetically engineered species have been spotted, and the locals may be deliberately hiding something—perhaps even plotting rebellion.

As a combat veteran and a medical retiree, Yana is the ideal person to get close to the natives. She is quickly adopted by the people of Petaybee, who feed her a home remedy that soothes her ragged lungs. Her strength and health return, and she becomes determined to protect her new home and her people from a greedy and increasingly ruthless corporation.

Anne McCaffrey never fails to entertain

I enjoy the places that Anne McCaffrey takes me to and the characters she introduces me to. I love the science and imagination that combine in her tales. I read them over and over without being bored. The read is easy and can become addicting.

LOVE IT

Marina Sortie is perfect! With her ability to speak with accents, it was just like I had heard in my head.

It was an interesting book with a surprise ending.

What did you love best about Powers That Be?

The way that it could relate to our government too.

What other book might you compare Powers That Be to and why?

To others of Anne McCaffrey, as they are always off world with heroine and hard superiors.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The way the people stuck together during hardship and been put there, not of their own accord. Also the scene in the pool.

Any additional comments?

I liked the book, how she is sent to spy and winds up helping the people. The magical animals and how she becomes pregnant but wasn't aware of it. It's not too long and was easy to read.

great story, slight garbled line in chapter two

This storyline is one of my favorites. Fantastic author and good voice reading. One line garbled in chapter two.

Petaybee

Great story, good narration. Anne McCaffrey never disappoints.

There were a couple of glitches in the recording, I am assuming problems with the download.
