Killashandra

Written by Anne McCaffrey

Narrated by Adrienne Barbeau

The exhilarating adventures of Anne McCaffrey's bestselling Crystal Singer series continue with Killashandra, a story that mixes interplanetary political intrigue with passionate romance. In this installment, Killashandra Ree's crystal claim has been exhausted, forcing her to take a new assignment and leave her new lover back on their native Ballybran. She goes undercover on a distant, desolate planet, searching desperately for the crystal that will save her—and, quite possibly—determine the fate of the entire universe.

Reviews for Killashandra

Cut out soo much of the book, it's a shame

Hmm...
Well, it is just as fast paced as the first. Perhaps a more indepth plot, but not necessarily a better book for it.
I find K's arrogance a bit annoying, but she's not a horrible protagonist or anything like that, just sort of too pleased with herself, all the time. I'm sure tthere are a slew of male protaonists from that period and prior to which she could be compared, and she would come out, by fair, the fairer.
The crystal mythos is far more interesting to me that the setting or the characters.

tl;dr: if you have tome to spare, listen to it.
