Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is a remarkable book. I used to read lots of science fiction and fantasy but it's been a long time since anything has held my interest.
The author has created a coherent reality which begins to manifest with the very first sentence. By the end of the first page I was amazed.
Lots of plausible galactic history here, with an unusual approach to the problems encountered by species with very different life spans.
It's a little tricky at first, keeping track of all the characters and how they relate to each other, but a family tree type diagram would be a spoiler,
so just make your own as you go along. A brave and thoughtful book. Hopefully the first of a trilogy !

During the last Interglacial more than125,000 years ago, humans hybridized with the R'il'naiand spread across the galaxy to colonize other planets.Although they formed a Confederation, they still depended onthe R'il'nai for guidance and protection-not only from theMaungs but from each other.
But only one of thepureblood R'il'nai still lives-Lai, an embittered survivorwho mourns his lost human love but is still bound to honorhis race's responsibility to the Confederation. Two others possess thepotential to change his and the Confederation'sfuture: Snowy, a slave dancer who is frightened of hisspecial powers, and Marna, a healer who survived aplanet-wide epidemic on her home world.
All have their own individual loyalties which put them in conflictwith one another, but the only way they can summon a futureto benefit all is to work together.
