This is the first in a series by Nancy Kress. I first came across her work when I read An Alien Light. I really enjoyed that book. I haven't read much of her other work but I picked this up because it sounded interesting and it seemed like it would be perfect for reading on the flights to and from India.
As it turns out I didn't get to start it until I got home. I guess the trick to sleeping on airplanes is to bring enough reading material for 50 hours of travel time. I was so loaded up with ...more

Kress doesn't do a great job of establishing the science upon which her fiction is based, which makes some of the plot developments difficult to follow. Also, the characters lack any proper sense of inquiry, rendering them absolutely incredible. Apparently the characters are so used to discovering ancient alien technology they cannot understand that they've stopped wondering about the who's and why's of its creators; a feature I found quite odd and disruptive.

I hadn't read any real sci-fi in a long time. Imagine my surprise when I discovered (gasp!) actual science as essential to the plot. Yes, passages of real (or possibly made up - how would I know?) physics, geology, and neurobiology. Still, I persevered and was able to mine some enjoyment. I may even read the sequel(s).

Much weaker than the other Nancy Kress books I have read and enjoyed. This frankly doesn't even read like her at all.

A very interesting world, although the physics get a bit weird. Can't wait to read the sequel.

It was good but not good enough to read the rest of the trilogy.
