5.0 out of 5 stars
One of best SciFi books - extremely interesting aliens,
By A Customer
This review is from: Fallway (Mass Market Paperback)
Downing has created an alien society so "alien" to our own,
whereby the aliens have their own value system to which the
stranded humans must adapt. (Her book "Rinn's Star" is
equally fascinating.) In addition, she develops the
characters so that the readers become attached to them.
She also manages to have female protaganists, somewhat rare
for hard science fiction. As a fan of the old 1950's
writers (where the best sci-fi was written), I feel she comes
closer to them than most contemporary writers. Unfortunately
the publishing company did little to get the word out.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great Suspense, SF, and great characters!,
By Liz "lizurd6" (San Jose, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fallway (Mass Market Paperback)
Ms. Downing seems to excel at creating great characters and then drawing them (and you) through an intense plot. I'm a David Weber/Isaac Asimov/Robert Heinlen fan and I really think this book is on par with them.
