This second novel by multiple award-winner Vernor Vinge, from 1976,
is a fast-paced adventure where galactic policies collide and
different cultures clash as two scientists and their faith in
technology are pitted against an elusive race of telekinetic
beings.
Marooned on a distant world and slowly dying of food poisoning, two
anthropologists are caught between warring alien factions engaged
in a battle that will affect the future of the world's inhabitants
and their deadly telekinetic powers. If the anthropologists can't
help resolve the conflict between the feuding alien factions, no
one will survive.
This edition features sixteen full-page illustrations by Doug
Beekman.
