The first book in the Tower and the Hive sequence The Talents were the elite of the Nine Star League. Their gifts were many and varied, ranging from the gently telepathic, to the rare and extremely valued Primes. On the Primes rested the entire economic wealth and communications systems of the civilised worlds. But Primes were scarce - only very rarely was a new one born. And now, on the planet Altair, in a small mining colony on the western mountain range, a new Prime existed, a three-year-old girl - trapped in a giant mud slide that had wiped out the rest of the Rowan mining community. Every Altarian who was even mildly talented could 'hear' the child crying for help, but no one knew where she was buried. Every resource on the planet was centred into finding 'The Rowan' - the new Prime, the first ever to be born on Altair, an exceptionally unique Prime, more talented, more powerful, more agoraphobic, more lonely, than any other Prime yet known in the Nine Star league. Anne McCaffrey, the Hugo award winning author of the bestselling Dragonriders of Pern novels, is one of science fiction's most popular authors.

Old but Good!
By Aurian
When The Rowan was three years old, she lost her family in a mudslide. She was only spared because her mother had left her in the hopper, while she ran through the rain to get some groceries inside. It had been raining for weeks, and no one knew, the mud avalanche was building. Not one precog had foreseen it. The whole planet heard her mental cries for days, until she was found.
As a Ward of Altair, and a very powerfully Gifted child, The Rowan (named after the mining community she was born in, as she could not remember her given name), should be in the care of Altair’s Prime, Siglen. But Siglen didn’t care much for children, and Lusena, who got the care of The Rowan, kept making excuses for letting her stay with her and her children for as long as possible. But at the age of twelve, The Rowan had to go live with Siglen, to be trained as a Prime, in the responsibilities of operating a Tower. Every major planet in the Nine Star League has a Tower, and a Prime, or perhaps a pair of T2’s, to take care of business. Sending cargo, messages, freighters and passenger ships from one planet to the other, by means of telekinesis, and with the help of mighty generators. They are the most important assets a planet has. Of course they earn a lot of money, but the responsibility and work ethic is drilled in them from a young age. The work is hard, and there is no one else who can take it over, so they don’t have a lot of free time themselves.
The Rowan is lonely, totally without a family of her own, except for Lusena, and Geraloman, who takes care of the generators in the Tower. And her special pukha, named Purza. An upgrade to a normal stuffed animal, a being programmed to offer comfort and reassurance to a lonely child. But there are no children to play with, or time to be a child.
Earth Prime Reidinger has concocted a scheme to bring her in contact with other Talented children, out of whom she someday has to form her own Tower personnel. At first Rowan tries to blend in, but she soon discovers that as she is the Prime, her word is law. They will have to listen to her, and respect her. Some she likes, some not, but none of them is becoming anything close to a friend.
When Rowan looses her Purza thanks to a jealous cousin of Lusena, she is inconsolable. Siglen is unfeeling about it, she should have been weaned from that toy a long time ago! But thanks to Geraloman, Rowan gets a barquecat cub, which is a huge honor, as they normally only live aboard spaceships. They are better and faster then the humans in finding minute leaks and fissures in the ship hull and conduits.
When The Rowan has turned 18, Earth Prime Reidinger (who is a distant grandson of the original Peter Reidinger in the Pegasus books), assigns her her own Tower, on the moon Calisto. And there she lives and works hard for the next 10 years. Her agoraphobia is preventing her from travelling to Earth or any of the other planets in the league. This hurts, as all the other Talents, except the Primes, have no difficulty whatsoever with travelling through space.
Then someday, out of the blue, she gets contacted telepathically by a stranger, from the most recently colonised planet Deneb VIII, which is supposedly under attack by aliens! Jeff Raven needs help, and he wants her to alert Earth prime and send in the cavalry. But of course, military decisions are not made quickly, until Jeff deflects a few missiles to Earth, and they suddenly believe him. And so Deneb is saved for the moment, and Jeff Raven has come to Calisto to meet The Rowan, and thank her for her help. They have an instant connection, and know they are meant for each other. Due to the mindmeld with all the other Prime Talents in the Nine World League, they already know each other intimately, even though they are still strangers.
Of course Deneb has to pay heavily for the help they have gotten, and thanks to the weeks of biological attacks, and the fact that 2/5 of their population has been killed, they are virtually bankrupt. Jeff has been drafted by Earth Prime, but Deneb has not yet earned the privilege of their own Tower with a Prime. Will their relationship last, when The Rowan is unable to travel to her beloved?
I’ve read this series so often now, and I still highly enjoy it. Especially this book. And I absolutely adore that cover! Every time I read it, I stare at it for a few minutes.
The book is divided in parts, detailing a part of the life of The Rowan (Rowan for short). Her childhood and youth, her time on Calisto, the Deneb part, and of course, the last part ;)
You have to love and admire Rowan, she is such a great character, such a strong little girl to cope with everything that comes on her path. Her path is not easy, and often very lonely, until she meets Afra, a young Capellan boy who comes to work in her Tower. Afra also becomes her closest friend and confidant. But she is still lonely, longing for a soul mate.
If you like sci-fi with some romance thrown into it, with great characters, I heartily recommend this series. There is no need to read the Pegasus series first. Anne McCaffrey has a very distinct writing “voice”. Very descriptive, a great pace, the books are never boring, though sometimes a little too much techno talk for me to follow.
10 stars.

Great book!
By Elbie
I loved it from start to finish. A great story about tele-kineses. The use of mind-power to get things done. And Damia is an exceptional woman, with exceptional powers. A woman who knows what she wants....
A recommended read....

Brilliant beginning to a brilliant series.
By VelvetLounger
Anne McCaffrey is one of the great fantasy writers. This, the first of the Tower and Hive series follows on direct from the 3 Pegasus books in which human brain powers such as telekinesis and telepathy are first solidly identified.
Moving into the future The Rowan is the story of a little girl who has stellar powers and will change the face of human travel.
All her books are well written and a joy to read. this series is one of the best.
