It’s not exactly the kind of exit I’d prefer to make, Caleb remarked to Lt. Commander Kendra Oscony, his executive officer, seated beside him in the bridge compartment. She grinned r a ship of this caliber, she said, her glance sliding around the control panel. She had had some simulated training on a mock-up at Fleet Headquarters. But even the best virtual simulations never equaled the reality. When can we slip the dogs?. As soon as we’ve cleared the comsats, he said, almost as eager as she to be free of their cover vessels

So many of her contemporaries resorted to surgical methods to maintain their figures, a practice that Rezalla found abhorrent and which she intended to eschew. Though one of her close personal friends, Lord Naves, specialized in body sculpture, she did not intend to use his skills. Good physical habits in childhood would result in a firm adult body that would need no surgical interference. So many children these days are content to have everything done for them," Lady Rezalla said, leading her new employee to meet her daughter

On Vega III, where the jaded inhabitants pursue lives of malicious intrigue and decadent pleasure, Lady Nimisha Boynton-Rondymense has always been an anomaly. Disdainful of the frivolity of her fellows, she prefers the exciting and challenging world of her father, Lord Tionel, owner and principal starship designer of the famous Rondymense shipyards.

Here is a strong female protagonist growing up in a gentrified society. Those who wonder about changes to social structure will be surprised by the relationships McCaffrey writes about: Nimisha is product of an arranged liaison.
Her mother feels this way:
'Members of the First Families had to set good examples to everyone, even their peers, but they delegated duties; they didn’t do them.'
McCaffrey, Anne. Nimisha's Ship (p. 3). Random House Publishing Group. Kindle Edition.

Contrary to expectations, Nimisha does not waste time on frivolity. She uses her intelligence and family connections to establish herself as a respected spaceship designer. -and she test flies her latest creation. That grabs our attention.
The plot raises the dramatic tension when the ship encounters a wormhole. Pacing speeds up until she is knocked out- great imagery. The impact of later explorations increased my sense of doom, then she makes two dramatic discoveries. The author hands Nimisha many dilemmas which she solves.
A minor criticism is how McCaffrey minimized other characters such as household help, space workers, spies, but only refers to results of their attempted assassinations or years of honorable service. (I know, it simplifies the story to ignore minor characters, but there could be so many subsidiary stories here.)
Still, this reader would have welcomed a second novel of Nimisha's further adventures.

Another old friend, read again. This story gives a look at a future that may or may not be realistic -- giving the human aspects of living in a universe that has space travel and has developed some interesting and different social structures. The structures provide some of the tension and conflict in the story and the discovery of alien beings who have intelligence gives yet another twist to the plot.

I enjoyed this book, again, as I read for different reasons each time -- one time to look at structure, another to look at characters, and always, for the enjoyment of the story.

Just finished a book I first read when it first came out... like all of the great Anne Maccaffrey book, and wonderful look at what the stars might hold for all of us. Her visions of honorable aliens, small minded villains, and harmonic resolutions makes me think that the future is not to be feared.

This is an excellent story with fascinating characters. Strong women abound. The description of the Sh’im is wonderful; and the collaboration between the two sets of beings is heartwarming. McCaffrey is always a great writer; and this book is the best of the many that I have read.

I’ve been a Dragonlover for many, many years...but I have to say that Nimisha’s story is my favorite of Anne McCaffrey’s stories. Her abilities to weave strong, intelligent women into this space adventure story are second to none. Absolutely worth the time... Wish there was more!

Aradwyn

Wonderfully drawn characters in a corner of a realistic universe that provides basis for McCaffrey's knack for telling a darned good story. Can't find enough superlatives to cover what I 'd really like to say about this tale. Read it! You won't be sorry. (Then start with the Pern books and get to know even more characters you will wish you could meet.)

I have I believe read every one of Mrs Anne McCaffrey's books now that I just finished Nimishas Ship, I was not in the least disappointed. First class story teller, empire builder, gutsy survivalist, humanitarian, hell of an excellent human being, those of who have got to know her through her writing skills, Love her and wish her well forevermore.

She mixes sci fi with fantasy and makes it all seem real.. Her characters are full of life and believable.. Her landscapes are so graphic that you can see them.. She does romance without detailed sexual content.. Anne McCaffrey is one of the genres all time best and most prolific writers..
