This is one of those books where the history of the writing of it is possibly more intriguing than the book itself. Not many people have read it, but soft copies are available. Hard copies are available at Abebooks for $255 and $1000.

As it actually is basically an early version of Games of Command, it's interesting from a writing point of view to compare the two versions of basically the same story.

It still has that great command of plot and characters that are typical of all Linnea's books. Worth searching out if you are a fan of her work.

Command Performance is the original story of 'Games of Command'. The author published this as the first book (it ended on a cliffhanger and 'to be continued'.) but never got to the next book. Her new publisher did not want it and asked for a standalone. I had gotten the first chapters from Linnea, but the rest was never written (I assume).

It is different from Games of Command and I preferred this one actually.

It is the same book as "Game of Command." For the first half. Then it changes the ending entirely, leaving in open for the sequel, which I may well read, but I did not like it a quarter as well, i was so displeased I went and reread game of command immediately after!
