I launched into this right after the first book in the series; finished #2, but paused before going on to #3. The characters were starting to sound the same.

I saw that Baen Books was (re)releasing [b:The Ship Who Searched|176850|The Ship Who Searched (Brainship, #3)|Anne McCaffrey|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1172444671s/176850.jpg|3431] and that reminded me that I had a copy of both that book and [b:PartnerShip|410927|PartnerShip (Brainship, #2)|Anne McCaffrey|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1174512926s/410927.jpg|1003777], in this one volume. I'd read it years ago but I thought it would be fun to re-read it. And it was.
I very much like the big idea here: people who would be crippled or dead can find a new life as the living brain of a ship, city, or space station. Full neural connections to the ship allow the person to experience the ship as their own body and operate it as smoothly as we operate our own limbs.
The stories are fun too.
