Then there were pieces of memory, isolated fragments that were so horrible her mind refused to accept them. Intense heat and shivering cold; excruciating pain; dismembered pieces of the human body. Sawn bones and searing screams.

Originally published on my blog here in August 2001.

A common theme in science fiction and fantasy - and one which succeeds admirably in attracting would be escapists to the genre - is the sudden travel of a normal person to an alien environment. It also, in the science fiction context, ties in with the idea of alien abductions, though this is something that has become much more widely talked about since Restoree was published.

What McCaffrey does in Restoree is an unusual version of this idea. Th...more

Sara, a country girl living in New York City, is kidnapped by aliens intent on stocking their larder. After the horrors of a human abattoir, she comes gradually to her senses to find herself playing nurse to a non-responsive patient, on a different planet, with a new face. And discovers that her charge is being deliberately drugged into insensibility...

Shelves: science-fiction

The book opens with an intense scene, filled with tension and action, which made me unable to put it down until I had, at the very least, finished the first chapter. From about the third chapter, however, it tends to spiral a little, to my disappointment. When I reached the end of the book I found that a lot of the details of the plot had been left unexplained, unfinished, or just plain contradicted. Also, I agree with some other reviewers on the protagonist not really being that strong, as a pe...more

I read this mostly as a historical analysis of science-fiction as it was the first book published by Anne McCaffrey in 1967. (She has said that she wrote it in response to the misogynistic tropes of 1960s science-fiction where women were helpless addendums to the male-driven plot.) Reading it almost 50 years later), the actions of the female protagonist are still completely dictated by the alien men in the story.

Don't read on if you dislike spoilers!

I have to say I am still as enchanted as I was those many years ago. There is something inherently fascinating about the idea of what essentially is a metamorphosis, slipping out of one's old skin into a new one, changing one's whole life alongside with that. AMC was among the first to get to play with this in a drastic way within SF, and she had a knack for picking difficult such topics (e.g. The Ship Who Sang is about a cyborg created out of a crippled baby, also quite out on the left field).

Some people have claimed that Restoree is a classic Cinderella story with a deeply anti-feministic heroine going on all about the wrong causes and virtues. I disagree, very much so. Yes, Sara gets "magically" changed from ugly to beautiful, but this comes at such a cost, that you can't call it opportune: she is literally flayed alive, taken as food, rescued and covered with a new skin, then delivered to serve a psychiatric patient and the absolutely hated sacrilege of the society she is dumped with through her restoration. I wouldn't call that an easy number, especially as she also is placed at risk to lose her life again.

She also is no passive damsel in distress, in fact she is a very forward, independant and in general positive and strong woman. Yes, and there is the major difference between her and the current "strong awesome female characters" (which I loathe with a vengeance) insofar that Sara likes men, she wants to live with a man and she is overjoyed to find and have one. She isn't the total shallow dimwit either, the guy she falls in love with happens to be an ugly inpatient of the ward she wakes up in, it's not as if he were Prince Charming, not even when he turns out to be well-off and amounting to something on that world.

So Sara is what a lot of current heroines aren't, she is warm-hearted, open-minded, wholesome and she is not selfish. The book itself is a compelling read, I can't put it down once I started reading it and I re-read it often. A real keeper.

This is one of her older books, one I'd never even heard of, and I found it at a used book store that's going out of business.

Like many of her books, this one follows one main character in a very wide-ranging story. By wide-ranging, I mean that it usually involves a lot of characters on a strange new planet and all the geopolitics and alien technologies that go with that. The world building she does is just amazing. It's hard enough keeping track of our own earthly political and historical happenings in concert with all the mundane and more personal events, but McCaffrey just throws you completely in a another world, amid all the intrigues and suspense of a planet not our own.

It can get to be too much sometimes, as she generally writes as though you should already be familiar with the world she creates -- details and description are kept to a minimum as the story carries you away.

And that's pretty much how Restoree is. The main character, Sara, is a human from Earth, but somehow she finds herself in a beautiful new body on a different planet. Her dawning awareness of her situation -- or I guess I should say her reawakening consciousness -- is beautifully described and is much more personally involved than the rest of the book. In other words, the reader can easily experience what she's experiencing and see what she's seeing. As the book progresses, though, and Sara becomes more and more involved in the planet's political and military struggles, it feels more and more distant, more and more like a recital of events.

And I was disappointed that the relationship between Sara and Harlan wasn't all that fully developed towards the end. With McCaffrey, the events are the thing, and the romantic relationships tend to take a back seat. It made me realize just how old school this science fiction novel truly is.

I guess my tastes have changed because while I liked this book, I kept wishing for more.

Finished reading April 4, 2009.(less)

I came up with this longterm plan to read Anne McCaffrey's Pern series so willy nilly I started picking up her books in second hand shops. The willy nilly aspect led to me buying more than a couple of books not in the Pern universe. And this little gem seemed like as good a place to start reading McCaffrey as any.

While I wasn't blown away by "Restoree", I liked it well enough. It's a sci fi romance, with emphasis on sci fi. I haven't read a lof of sci fi and certainly not from the 60's but I tho...more

By then, I have a pretty good handle on the plot, the writing style and I can get my initial impressions down, so that when I finish the book, I simply do the edit/rewrite and add the conclusion based on how it all turns out. But with Anne McCaffrey's Restoree, I hit that point and realized I had no idea how I felt about the book yet. Then I read to about the 75% mark and still wasn't sure how I felt. It wasn't until I was maybe a dozen pages from the end when I finally started to get a sense for where the story was going or have some investment in what was going to happen (or what was not).

Restoree is the tale of Sara, a lonely New Yorker who is kidnapped by aliens and loses all but flashes of her memory between the abduction and her coming-to, when she discovers she has been made to perform rote caregiver tasks as a sort of mindless drone on behalf of a comatose man. As an act of self-preservation she maintains her facade of witlessness until she discovers that there is a sinister purpose for her state and that of her ward, so she hatches a desperate plan to escape the situation and in the process discovers that the man she's been attending to is the Regent of a faraway planet. This planet, Lothar, has been under constant threat of attack by an invading alien force known as the Mil, and following several decades of relative peace, the planet has fallen under political turmoil. The majority of the book deals with the Regent, a man named Harlan, and Sara trying to escape and right the plot that put Harlan into a drugged stupor under Sara's care.

Through the story Harlan and Sara fall in love, and Sara has a knack for getting herself into sticky situations since Harlan suspects her of being a Restoree, which is a condition punishable by death, so her origin cannot be revealed. But Sara is ignorant of a lot of Lotharian custom, history and geography so there is some tension about whether or not she will reveal herself at the wrong time, increasing as she gets ever more entangled in the politics of the planet while she tries to reveal the plot against Harlan and re-instate him as Regent.

I think the main issue I had with Restoree is that it's kind of directionless, and for a short, 250 page book, it really wanders and meanders and takes forever getting to the stuff that really matters to the reader. A lot of the decisions in the writing process are very odd ones, to me. For example, the book reads a bit like a romance between Sara and Harlan, but there is very little romantic tension here. Sure, there are some for-show complexities as Sara becomes a means for a Warlord-elect to undo some baseless rumors which makes her ability to be with Harlan somewhat complicated, but the end result isn't really a divide between Sara and Harlan, but simply a lack of public declaration. At no point is their relationship really in question or in jeopardy. Additionally, the key plot point of Restoration and Sara being a Restoree is hinted at throughout but isn't really explained until very late in the book at which point all the fears about it that Harlan hints at end up being more or less unfounded which cheapens a lot of the tension that propels the book forward, such that it is.

There are parts of the book that really work, such as the initial chance encounter that leads Sara to the palace without her allies where she has to resourcefully find a way to make the right friends and navigate the unfamiliar social customs. Additionally an astoundingly late-breaking subplot (which serves also as a very convenient contrivance to interrupt a potentially difficult tribunal) involves a military action that takes place remotely. The effect is like a story told about a space shuttle mission where the point of view never leaves ground control. The level of tension, aided in large part by the lack of concrete knowledge of what is really happening out on the battlefield, is gripping. But these segments only fill a few dozen pages. Way too much time is devoted to things like hatching a scheme for Sara to infiltrate the palace—a plan that is almost immediately scrapped, after it's been mapped out in great detail over five or six pages—or to Sara expressing dismay over certain people or events while everyone around her says, "Nah, don't worry about it."

Sara herself is a well-realized, admirable heroine. Harlan is a bit too superman-ish, but he's a reasonable foil for Sara. My biggest problem with the rest of the cast is that Ms. McCaffrey chooses too many names that are similar to others: Jessl and Jokan, Sara and Fara, Gleto and Gorlot. It gets kind of confusing and is just unnecessary.

I didn't dislike Restoree, but it had too many weird tangents and too little focus for me to really enjoy. I liked McCaffrey's style and her imagination and attention to certain details that might have been overlooked by other authors (the technology level of Lothar was particularly interesting and novel) indicated there is enough promise on display here for me to want to dive into some of her other work. But I just can't give more than faint praise for a book that reads a bit too much like a first draft.

The edition I read was, I think, the first paperback edition. It was the first book I read by her & I'd call it a SF Romance. I really liked it, although it is kind of a hackneyed plot. Alien abduction & a Prince riding to the rescue. I can't really give it 4 stars, although I'd like to because of the place it holds in my reading - an early step to her work.

This was Anne McCaffrey's first book, and still in print after fifty years. I wouldn't recommend it as an introduction to her.

The protagonist is a woman who has been chopped up by predatory aliens but was rescued and skillfully reassembled (hence the title, she was restored) to do menial labor in some sort of hospital. Somehow she manages to break the hold of the medicated food she is supposed to eat and escapes. She soon meets with a dashing man with really superior lovemaking skills and the adventure begins. Dashing man turns out to be a very important leader in the struggle against the predatory (now really, they only act just like we do with other species, even other races) aliens. It happens that restored persons are regarded with horror as a sort of untouchable caste in this world. It also happens that these "people" are not even human although (of course) they look, act, feel and most importantly copulate just like us and that our heroine is an earthling who was somehow accidently sucked into the alien meatwagon even though earth is not involved in these goings on at all. [This is just like on Star Trek where almost any bipedal can breed with almost bipedal, and they are all bipedal and most look almost, minus a wrinkly nose or some spots, like us.] Prince Charming, a being of supreme intelligence as well as noble character, has not failed to notice her shortcoming as a restored person but is so taken with her that he doesn't tell (and apparently she is so skillfully put together that regular folks don't notice) and later on as the most powerful figure in his world no one will dare bring it up anyway. The critical moment comes, they all take their magic no-doz pills for the long decisive struggle to come. They win. The pill runs out, they sleep it off for a week, they awake, yes! its all real! She wakes up as queen of the universe with the best looking, sexiest king there ever was. The End. Well enough written to not be the Harlequin romance of its kind, but a romance it is. Pretty light on larger subjects, pretty light on developing the predatory (as opposed to sexy romantic) aliens as anything but faceless evil, and, apart from the setting, pretty light on the science fiction. Well, they can't all be War with the Newts. There is an audience for this and it, at least, was well served.(less)

The SF chick lit fest continues. Another of McCaffrey's more straight-forward works, and one that reminds you that she also wrote gothic romances. (Close your mouth, yes, she did. I've read them.) No surprises here, just well-paced plot with some decent characterization. And aliens. Can't forget the man-eating aliens!

I give this 3 stars only because it's clear that McCaffrey is really developing as a writer; it's certainly not her best work. That said, from a feminist science-fiction standpoint, I think it's an important read and provides some interesting connections to the feminist movement in the late 1960s/early 1970s.
