4.0 out of 5 stars They're on their way...
The starfarers get the chance for great character development in this volume of the series. Good reading, and essential to the storyline!

3.0 out of 5 stars starfarers stuck in the middle
Vonda McIntyre's background as a geneticist gives us the explanation of the title of this book, being the stationary, poised to move, section of the trilogy. On its own it doesn't have the impact of her other books, but it's the essential link for this series, with distinctly psychedelic overtones!

2.0 out of 5 stars The Most Superfluous Book in the Series, December 9, 2001

This review is from: Metaphase (Mass Market Paperback)
The Starfarers series is not without its merits, but Metaphase is where it grinds to a virtual standstill. Although one or two minor ideas pop up here and there, most of the book is spent on rather dull character interaction.

The plot is not really going anywhere at all in this installation, and could easily have been boiled down to one or two chapters in the next book.

You're left with the distinct impression that the author was paid by the page.
