Reviews

""This is a deep surprise of a story as it contemplates the perils and pitfalls of communication and the difficulty of reaching anything like understanding with a species with which one shares few if any frames of reference. Readers who found the struggle to communicate in Ray Nayler's The Mountain in the Sea will enjoy... [and] fans of the classic Star Trek: The Next Generation episode ""Darmok"" will find this to be a familiar and similarly complex and heartbreaking tale."" --Library Journal (starred) ""Ashton emphasizes character motivation without losing sight of the fact that readers are there for the high-stakes thrills."" --Publishers Weekly
