Summary: Another great McCaffrey
Comment: Another great McCaffrey Book. I read it in one reading. You just have to love a book that has spaceships name "Andre Norton", "Arrakis" and "Bradbury". As always well written. I have only one complaint. As I recall the only time teleportation is mentioned is in "To Ride Pegasus" and not at all in connection with Peter Reidinger and Johnny Greene, yet at the beginning of this book, which is set within months of "To Bridle Pegasus", (Rhyssa is still pregnant with her first child) both of them are teleporting supplies and equipment to Padragoi Station. Still a great read and worth the price. Anne shows the beginning of the FT&T. I must agree, however with the review by fiagaro1010, it worries me when an author starts concluding a series, such as the Talent series. That said, I highly recommend this book.

Summary: Nice addition to the Talent series
Comment: 'Pegasus In Space' is a very nice addition to Ms. McCaffrey's Talent series which started with 'To Ride Pegasus' and continued thru 'The Tower And The Hive.' This book picks up where 'Pegasus in Flight' (the second book) left off as the Talented and the people of Earth are just beginning to push into space. The struggle to get the space station, moonbase, and Mars base completed continues. Also, continuing is the struggle of the Talented to be accepted by 'normal' people, who continue to react with fear and prejudice...
The story centers mainly around the life of Peter Reidinger, a Talented young boy who was first introduced in 'Flight.' It spans about 4 years of his life as we watch him mature both in age and in Talent while persuing his dream of space travel. The book, also, gives us brief glimpses of other characters from the previous book, such as Center Director Rhyssa Owen-Lehardt, her husband Dave, Dorthea (first seen in 'To Ride Pegasus'), Tirla, Sacha, and Colonel Johnny Green. There is, also, a new character introduced, Amiriyah, who has a profound and surprising affect on Peter's life...
Tho' I enjoyed the book, I had two problems with the story: First, the 4 year span is more of a 4 year jump. It takes us too rapidly from Peter's 15th birthday to his 19th, showing only a few brief glimpses in between. My second problem is along the same lines - those brief glimpses of the other characters were far too brief. I would have like to have 'seen' more into the lives of Tirla, Sacha, Rhyssa, etc. and not just how they related to Peter. But, overall, it was a good story and I liked revisiting old familiar characters - I just would have like to have 'visited' longer...
My advice, if you haven't already done it, is to read 'Pegasus In Flight' first. 'Space' contains characters, refers to characters and events which appeared in the previous book, while giving very little explanation to them. So, if you haven't read 'Flight' you might have trouble following this book.

Summary: Nice book but I have a few gripes with it ...
Comment: In the first book, To Ride Pegasus, Henry Darrow is a rich man who earns his living as an astrologer. He "discovers" his psi ability through an almost fatal car accident, and from there, is able to fund and help build an independent psi agency. There is no one stopping him, no government(CIA, NSA, FBI)underhandness,and when Henry is tested the first time, with one of his people's psi abilties, his rich partner, George Henner, bails him out and from there, the psi have won, and that leads the way to Daffyd's time (Pegasus in Flight) and Peter's and Rhyssa's time(Pegausus in Space)
Maybe the book would be better if Henry and George had to deal with MIB's or some other "XFiles" stuff. If Henry, George, Rhyssa, Peter, Tirla, or Daffyd had to contend with that, or be hurt or injured or one of them killed due to underhandness, I would believe the books more. How about a story in the very last where, Rhyssa talks about all the racism (ie "XMen") that Henry, and later Daffyd, had to contend with in the early days of the agency and how Henry was shot and George was killed, and how Daffyd had to go into hiding?(think of "The Terminator")
We would all like to believe in an utopian society, but realistically, people can't do it. The books are a nice source of escapism and I wish that people were this nob;e, but sadly, it ain't so.
Ann M is a great writer with vivid imagination.
