It seems to me that that happened with the Crystal series and the Acorna series. I think that's one of the points already made in the thread. She starts out strong then proceeds to beat the idea until it's stretched beyond it's limits. I haven't read _Pegasus in Space_ so no reccommendations there. Although if it's a new world and she follows her pattern, it might be worth checking out at the library. An interesting side note on libraries, My local library system (I'm in a large suburb of a major city) only has one Brust book to offer-- _Agyar_ Of course, I buy my Brust book for the many re-reads, but I did find that interesting.
