3.0 out of 5 stars Siduri's Net - Family and Adventure, April 7, 2000

This review is from: Siduri's Net (Cloudships of Orion) (Paperback)

Siduri's Net (The Cloudships of Orion, Book #1) reminded me of C. J. Cherry's "Finity's End" in terms of family/ship relationships with a whole new industry thrown in - starfield mining. The perspective, however, is totally different for North American readers: Slavs, Czechs, Greeks, Gypsies (Roms), Russkis- trying to work together AND trying to maintain their own cultures. Then we learn the "science" of harvesting starfields and "cloudship sailing". Somehow, I kept waiting for the action; about half-way through I realized it wasn't the action that mattered but the people. This book finishes its storyline satisfactorily, leaves you wanting more cloudship adventures without leaving any obvious loose ends.

Read 1, you'll want to read the rest. Great Sci-fi series. The main character is of Gypsy descent, it was a real eye opener seeing life & space from a Gypsy point of view.
