A review by spitzig
A Deepness in the Sky by Vernor Vinge

3.0

LOVED it. Vinge made alien spiders into people. However, that's not as impressive as making a collectively conscious pack of dogs into people(A Fire upon the Deep, the first book). Also, while it had an interesting way of considering civilizations rise and falling, it wasn't as epic or cosmopolitan as A Fire upon the Deep.

The book had quite a few well done main characters. The plot was good. Basically, espionage.
