Title: This is a stupid, stupid book.
Review: I've enjoyed the Darkover novels for years. They do fluctuate in quality, but this one is by far the worst of the lot and is not worthy of being considered part of the series. I suspect the co-author Lackey can be blamed for the ridiculous "science fiction" parts of the story, involving Terrans on a ship which crashes on Darkover. Absurdities here include a spaceship full of opera fans, etc. etc. However, I believe Bradley wrote the on-Darkover segments, which are little better. Leonie Hastur has suddenly become the obnoxious girl from the Pepsi commercials. Nothing is added to our understanding of Darkover here, which is a pity, since for me the world-building has always been the best part of the series. Also, both co-authors use a particularly pedestrian writing style. And getting Leonie trapped in a computer? Give me a break! Unless you're a diehard completist, skip this one.
