I enjoyed the heck out of this book. It is my first Anne McCaffrey book.
The concept is a human becomes the brain of a spaceship. The book is divided up into 6 events in the life of Helva, call sign XH-834. Along with the story of her travels, is the interaction between Helva and her passengers.
There's no great melodrama like in 2001. It's more like a small ship captains relationship with crew & guests. In this time frame many humans who are born critically physically damaged, with brain and mind in tact become captains of ships, trains, spaceships, etc.
The stories are not for deep thinkers. I find them entertaining, and interesting.
