This is science fiction on the grandest of scales - a cast of
thousands set across hundreds of years and in the farthest reaches
of Human Space. A prequel to his earlier novel A Fire Upon the
Deep, this new novel is epic in scope and a thoroughly riveting
read. A Deepness In the Sky is the story of Pham Nuwen, a small cog
in the interstellar trading fleet of the Queng Ho. Both they and
the Emergents are orbiting Arachna, a dormant planet which will
shortly wake up when its On/Off star relights after decades of
darkness. Both groups hope to exploit the coming age of technology
and commerce on Arachna. But while the Queng Ho seek only to trade
aggressively, the Emergents plans are far more sinister, amounting
to little short of genocide . . .
