About this listen

Hypatia Cade—a headstrong, smart, and spunky 7-year-old girl—falls ill after contracting an alien virus that renders her a quadriplegic. Robbed of her mobility, Tia's only hope to be free of the prison of her body is to train to be one of the legendary star travelers, a brainship—a cyborg human being and interstellar spacecraft. Following her training, she must find the right partner to be her brawn, the human element every brainship requires.

When the disease that debilitated Tia threatens thousands more, selecting a brawn who is her true soul mate may allow Tia to find the origin of the terrible plague—and perhaps even a cure.

Sorry, but you have spoilt this book for me. I recently read the book and so much has been left out that it has ruined my appreciation of the story. This audio book will just have to go back. I hate being shortchanged.

Damn .. it’s abridged.

Good mostly but it seems to leave out some very important sections as opposed to the book,whcih i can't understand why. Still worth the listen but if you can find the book I'd go for that.
