After thousands of years searching, humans stand on the verge of first contact with an alien race. Two human groups: the Qeng Ho, a culture of free traders, and the Emergents, a ruthless society based on the technological enslavement of minds.

The group that opens trade with the aliens will reap unimaginable riches. But first, both groups must wait at the aliens' very doorstep for their strange star to relight and for their planet to reawaken, as it does every two hundred and fifty years....

Then, following terrible treachery, the Qeng Ho must fight for their freedom and for the lives of the unsuspecting innocents on the planet below, while the aliens themselves play a role unsuspected by the Qeng Ho and Emergents alike.

More than just a great science fiction adventure, A Deepness in the Sky is a universal drama of courage, self-discovery, and the redemptive power of love.

So High, So Low, So Many Things to Know 🚀🌌The premise for this book is pretty spectacular: "After thousands of years searching, humans stand on the verge of first contact with an alien race.

Some books aren't what you remember, and aren't worth revisiting. Unfortunately for such a huge book, this is both. I remembered lots more spiders and far less humans. It's also way more baby-boomer focused than I want from my fiction at the moment, which is the most "november 2019" thing to say, but soooo true. Full review on my podcast, SFBRP episode #412.http://www.sfbrp.com/archives/1628

In the 'The Sixth Sense', the character Malcolm tries to tell a story. Unfortunately, it's a bad story, which Cole immediately picks up on, and comments, "You have to add some twists and stuff."I tend to think that the essence of a well-crafted story is the unexpected. A good story has unexpected tragedies, unexpected joys, and unexpected crowning moments of awesome. Yet, there are a surprisingly few good writers that are also good story tellers. In fact, when it comes right down to it, I think



This is an Michener-sized epic tale of conflict, cooperation and betrayal between two human civilizations racing to make first contact with an alien race.To a very small extent, this is a prequel to Vinge's A Fire Upon The Deep it is set much earlier in the same universe, and features the character Pham Nuwen (who plays a somewhat unusual role in Fire).While Fire involves the interactions between many races, Deepness takes place before humans had met any other technological civilizations. It

Vernor Vinge has hit a home run twice in a row. A Deepness in the Sky had all the fantastic alienness mixed with human drama and far future sci-fi awesomeness that made A Fire Upon the Deep one of my favorite SF novels ever. I've become a lot pickier about my sci-fi, but A Deepness in the Sky has held up even better than the first book in the twelve years since it was written.At its heart is a conflict between two starfaring cultures: the Qeng Ho, a culture of interstellar traders who take the

Unfortunately this book wasn't meant for me. I thoroughly enjoyed the first Zones of Thoughts novel, but this second one was too much of several things for me to care: too many characters, too much talking, too many (and too long) flashbacks.There are terrific ideas like the on/off sun and what this means for the evolution of a species, or the conflict of two human fractions with very different ideas of society.Even though it was handled a bit clumsily prose-wise the irritating view on the
