It is a wonderful story – and you will see also the similarities with Avatar's Mountain Banshees. I wrote about that here, too:
Pandora creatures in Avatar movie 2009 – 2010

I have to say I have not read Anne McCaffrey's books in a long while but they do stick with you. As I was reading the other post about Dune and the links to Avatar it brought back some great times to me.

I think I will be getting some of her books again as I no longer have any.

All the best,
