Anne McCaffrey Gift Packs/Crystal Singer and Killashandra by Anne McCaffery (1992, Audio Cassette)

This is a wonderful non dragon tale that starts in the Crytal Singer and continues in Killashandra. Anne McCaffrey weaves the tale of a young women in search of riches and glory but finds much more. The Crystal is only found on one plant and is used in space ship drives...the problem is that to find it you must form a symbictic relationship with microbs that can cause different leaves of problems for those who are processing with it. Even the ones who seem to have no phyical problems but who do the actual exploration have memory loss...The book Crystal Singer takes Killsandra through the adaptation process and active period of her life and the book Killasandra take you through her recovery and plant leadership roles. It is a heart pounding read...
