A Deepness in the Sky by Vernor Vinge

4.0

4.5 stars. A sweeping work of science fiction with just about everything you could ask for – a great plot making excellent use of very interesting ideas, well-developed characters, and good prose to tie it together. The only downside was that it felt a bit long at times, particularly in the early and middle spider sections. The climax was exciting and the conclusion tied everything together pretty well.
