The brain was perfect, the tiny, crippled body useless. So technology rescued the brain and put it in an environment that conditioned it to live in a different kind of body - a spaceship. Here the human mind, more subtle, infinitely more complex than any computer ever devised, could be linked to the massive and delicate strengths, the total recall, and the incredible speeds of space. But the brain behind the ship was entirely feminine - a complex, loving, strong, weak, gentle savage - a personality, all-woman, called Helva...

Industry Reviews

Helva, hopelessly deformed at birth, becomes one of the "shell people" whose brains will eventually be used to monitor space ships. Helva makes a happy adjustment (her avocation is singing from basso profundo to swinging soprano) until the death of her first male partner. The author manages the tricky balance of keeping Helva's physical and psychological cogs in gear as she passes from sorrowing adolescence to sensible womanhood on equally traumatic journeys. Helva should transport a young feminine audience. (Kirkus Reviews)
