Description

“No dragons, but [Crystal Singer] has all of [Anne] McCaffrey's gifts for world-building and characterization . . . an excellent book.”—Chicago Sun-Times

Her name was Killashandra Ree; and after ten grueling years of musical training she was young, beautiful—and still without prospects. 

Then she heard of the mysterious Heptite Guild on the planet Ballybran, where the fabled Black Crystal was found.

For those qualified, the Guild was said to provide careers, security, and the chance for wealth beyond imagining. The problem was, few people who landed on Ballybran ever left.

To Killashandra the risks were acceptable . . .

    I have read over 6,000 sic fi and fantasy books and this is in the top ten I have read. Yep I am a geek who rejected tv after mine was stolen and like to read for pleasure and relaxation.
  • A wonderful way to experience a story!

    Told from the first person perspective, you become immersed very quickly. I have read it a million times and I still can't put it down once I get started.
  • Brilliant and timeless

    I have lost count of the times I have read this book, I do know I have used up three paperbacks and given at least 6 away. It remains timeless and I recommend it to all. In this book a young woman comes to a crossroads in her life and decides to take a road no one else could see leading to adventure, romance and an amazing life. Best of all she finds fulfillment and happiness. I also love the follow on book Killashandra and suggest buying it as well.
  • Love it
