I vaguely remember reading some where that this Beneath Strange Skies series is actually YA, and I have to say that it certainly feels that way while reading it. I was a bit bored at first, but the story does seem to be taking off now. All the same, it doesnt have the same kind of 'punch' that the Liaden books do.
I found the second half a much quicker read. I think part of the problem was that I had expected something with the detail and complexity of the Liaden books - and this isn't like that...more

book published in 2005, first in a series, ended on a cliff-hanger, but no sequel in sight. Fairly unsatisfying, seemed like a pale imitation of their novel Flegdling. One review on Amazon.com (when I was searching for signs of the sequel) mentioned that the story focused on one of the less interesting characters and might've been more interesting if one of the other characters had taken center-stage.

I've read everything Steve and Sharon have written (including the original, signed chapbooks) I actually can't believe they wrote this. I adore their stuff.
If you are looking for a book of theirs to start with - put this to the end of the list and go and read the Agent of Change series - it begins with the book of the same name.
If this is the only one of theirs that you haven't read, like me - you're probably not going to believe the reviews. But truly and very sadly - it's terrible.

Liked the premise but didn't like the main character(s).
This is the first book of a never-to-be-completed trilogy. I decided to read it because I've loved everything I've read by Lee & Miller. This isn't one of their stronger works. I'd only bother if you are a die-hard completest.
