About this product
Product Information
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 . . .Product Identifiers

Galaxy spanning Space Opera.
A Deepness in the Sky is a prequel to Vinge's A Fire Upon The Deep, and tells more of the story of the Trading Empire, the Qeng Ho's conflict with another human civilization when they discover a new, non human population on a very strange alien world. Proper SF in the time and space opera mould. But no spoilers here.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
