"Helva was born with a severely disabled body but a great brain. As is the custom in the society in which she lives her brain was put into a shell and she was trained to become the controls of a space ship. Just using brains and her voice she is the main partner in a two people crew, her partner, Nyal, is the brawn. The two are destined to solve many problems and save a planet or two. Helva does not have the ability to excel in many arts and crafts but she loves to sing and has a beautiful voice. McCaffrey reaches into the hearts of her readers with this character and it is well worth reading even if you are not usually a sci-fi."
Penny , Resident Scholar
