The Crystal Singer by Anne McCaffrey

Killashandra Ree is a singer, but cannot attain her ultimate goal and become a solo singer. When the alternate option of joining the mysterious crystal singers appear, she take it – and so begins a wonderful science fiction story about something you don’t see very often: How the raw materials for all those fancy gadgets and machines they have in the future are acquired.

A book i have read many years ago and loved then so i really enjoyed re-reading it. Anne McCaffrey is favourite author of mine and she never fails to dissappoint with well constructed characters, worlds and storylines that will entice and draw you in (so much so i have been online to find out the next two books to read). Definately worth a read!
