Summary
Hypatia Cade—a headstrong, smart, and spunky 7-year-old girl—falls ill after contracting an alien virus that renders her a quadriplegic. Robbed of her mobility, Tia's only hope to be free of the prison of her body is to train to be one of the legendary star travelers, a brainship—a cyborg human being and interstellar spacecraft. Following her training, she must find the right partner to be her brawn, the human element every brainship requires.
When the disease that debilitated Tia threatens thousands more, selecting a brawn who is her true soul mate may allow Tia to find the origin of the terrible plague—and perhaps even a cure.

Weirdly Abridged
The abridgement sucks, it's missing a lot of... Character, a lot of the flavour that the full paper version has.
Chapter breaks are very abrupt, almost cut off.

Such a sad way to treat a good story!
I love this tale but it is so sad to listen to this very badly done shortening of the story. If I had not read the original earlier I doubt I would had been able to understand it. Indeed a very bad job done!

Abridging terrible...!!!
The abridging meant she didn't have to search very far....!!! Really disjointed.... Disapointing. Its a shame they didn't feel the need to give a full copy of the book - was looking forward to listening, real shame.
