AN ALIEN LIGHT by NANCY KRESS -- An interesting book in which Humans on a distant planet have reverted to barbaric tribalism. Distrusting tribes come into contact with a highly advanced alien species who is studying them and the humans must decide if they can trust the aliens or the competing tribe. Emphasis of the book is on the social sciences but a lot of detail is paid toward the more technological sciences.

Overall I enjoyed the book, though sometimes I felt that I had a bit of a hard time getting into the story, and therefore it took quite a bit of patience to get through the first third or so of the book. Once I finally got into it, however, the characters became alive and I was glad to continue reading.

This was the first book I read by Nancy Kress and still my favorite. I can't really say much about without introducing spoilers and this needs to be read without any pre-knowledge. All I can say was it grabbed me and didn't disappoint at any step along the journey.
