Just a good sci fi romance with a good mix of the two. ( )

Apperantly written as a parody of the sci-fi romance genre. If wiki is to be believed ( )

This only got three stars because it took a while to get to the action. And it went through the relationship building phase. The it got to action. ( )

She was a restoree, kidnapped. Torn from Earth by a bizarre and nameless black force, Sara had no idea where she was or why she was in a beautiful new body. Controlled by brutal guards and tamed by terror, she could not comprehend her role as a nurse for a man who appeared to be an idiot.

But once she discovered that the planet she had been brought to was Lothar and that the man she was caring for was its regent, Sara knew the restorees had to escape—and fast. And when they did, they became fugitives on a world of multiple evils—bound together on a daring adventure that would either join them for all time . . . or separate them forever.

Restoree (1967) is a science fiction novel by American-Irish writer Anne McCaffrey, her first book published. Also the first woman character in science fiction who not only survives, but fights and saves others. ( )

Okay, once again my son reminds me. Anne McCaffrey is a fine writer and most of her work fits well in the science fiction genre. Restoree is an awesome job. Her first full novel, we have a girl hero for once. She has invented entire alien races, but only describes them in limited detail. The main focus of the story is Sara who is apparently harvested from New York City (great explanation for a lot of unexplained absences huh?). I also noticed she didn't spend a whole lot of time dating the piece. New York Central Park July evening is somewhat generic. So what I learned from this story is you can introduce a lot and not flesh it out, focus on the main storyline to carry the tale. Good job Anne. ( )
