Summary: Hard to believe this was written decades ago!
Comment: This is Anne McCaffrey's first published novel. Despite having been originally published decades ago, the story is only slightly dated. I think it shows how far ahead of her time she was when it came to depicting strong women in Science Fiction. The heroine and hero have attitudes that would not be out of place in a current SF book.
This book has a bit of everything in it, alien abduction, political intrigue, battles against horrific aliens, and a romance. The heroine is an earth woman who somehow finds herself on an alien planet. She slowly returns to a normal mental state to find herself in some sort of mental institution, not as a patient, but as a worker! She soon realizes that the man she is caring for is being drugged against his will and decides to save him. From that point on she becomes entangled in the political intrigues of the planet she is on and will come to play a pivotal role in the salvation of the planet, both from dangers within and from space!

Summary: A scifi romance, a great author's first effort
Comment: To understand what you're getting if you buy this book, you must understand that the author was attempting to write a science fiction *romance* novel, not a straight scifi story. That said, if you don't mind a bit of romance mixed into your science fiction, it's not a bad story, a pretty decent book.
It's also Anne McCaffrey's first novel, and isn't as polished as her later works are.
I enjoyed the book, and if you're an Anne McCaffrey fan I'm sure you will too. If you've never read any of her books before, though, I suggest you might want to start with one of the later, more popular ones such as "The Ship who Sang" or "To Ride Pegasus" or "The Dragonriders of Pern".

Summary: I couldn't put it down
Comment: I really liked the Dragons of Pern series, and loved the Crystal Singer books, but none of them caught my attention like Restoree. I found myself absolutely unable to put the book down, even though it meant staying up into the wee hours of the morning. I read it again in the same week, which is unheard of for me. If you like McCaffrey, you'll love this.
