Why read it?

1 author picked Restoree as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Restoree is a stand-alone novel by Anne McCaffrey of the Dragon Riders of Pern fame. The protagonist, Sara, is swept up in a mass kidnapping and carried away to a planet where she ends up in a new body. She is given the job of caring for a man who seems largely unresponsive. Sara and the reader slowly come to understand what’s happening and she makes a bold move to rescue herself, her charge, and the other restorees. Like all the best science fiction, Restoree is less about the trappings and more about the human story. 

From Sally's list on set on distant worlds.

Book cover of Unreachable Skies

Unreachable Skies By Karen McCreedy,
