Review # 1 was written on 2009-11-07 00:00:00 Christopher Chapman 4.0 to 4.5 stars. I really liked this book. Having really enjoyed to first LaNague Federation novel, An Enemy of the State, I have been meaning to visit this universe again for some time. This installment focuses on Steve Dalt, who through a freak accident with an alien, becomes linked with the alien "symboite" who is able to make Dalt virtually immortal. Dalt becomes the legendary "Healer" and assists the Federation people through a series of disasters by using his special skills. Well written with an intesting plot, the best part of the book for me was the relationship between Dalt and the symbiote "Pard" who through their sharing of consciousness learn from each other and become better "people" as a result. I also have to add a favorite quote from the book which "Pard" says to Dalt in response to Dalt's trying to get philosophical about the nature of reality. "Pard" responds, "For the moment, let's just say the reality is what trips you up when you walk around with your eyes closed and leave it at that." I thought that was classic. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! Voted to the Prometheus Hall of Fame.

Review # 2 was written on 2011-08-31 00:00:00 Candace Vodden I'm not usually a Science Fiction girl but for some reason I really connected with the main character. There was little enough detail about technology that the story is timeless.
