A Fire Upon the Deep - Vernor Vinge


Tor, 1992, 613 pages
ISBN: 0-812-52528-5
Read May 2016, age 38

This book was fantastic.  The universe felt both huge and personal, as did the story.  The aliens were incredibly well-done, and the power disparity between mere mortals and 'trancendent' post-mortals was very interesting.  It's apparently the first book of three, but it ends sufficiently well that it is not necessary to continue.

Rating: 5
