A Beloved Classic

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago

Some twenty five years later I still remember this book for its combination of science fiction, social commentary, and the romance between Rissa and Bran. It made such an impact on me that I remembered the title instantly. It's one of my favorite books and I highly recommend it!

Role Model

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago

FM Busby created Rissa... at times, I let myself believe that he created her specifically for me. She has been my role model for many years: strong, confident, yet compassionate. Breaking free of her past tramas and stretching out on wings powered by her own determination, Rissa is everything I want to be when I grow up. At 36, I STILL go back and read this series when I need to renew my sense of worth and confidence. Thank you, Mr. Busby!

Part two of the Rissa Kerguelen trilogy

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago

While this book can be read independently of the series, I have found it better to read it in its proper order. First comes "Young Rissa" where the foundation of the story line is laid out and character personalities are developed; important characters are introduced as well. In "Rissa and Tregare" Rissa matures as does her relationship with Bran Tregare. Lots of action and more foundations are laid for the final book in the trilogy called "The Long View". The books uses physics ... but not to an overpowering degree. The storyline is grounded in reality and is good sci-fi.

A Classic in SCi Fi

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago

I was first introduced to F. M. Busby in college years ago and it turned into a long love affair. "Rissa and Tregare" was the first book I purchased. It is a book you would be hard pressed to put down. Clear your calender before staring this book and have lots of coffee handy!
