Honestly an incredible book. If you'd like to explore how evolution might work with another species and how desperate humans might interact with that, read on.
There's so much detail of technology and evolution here that it's almost hard to swallow, but Tchaikovsky balances so well on that thin line between believable and unreal science. The POV swaps between civilizations in a meaningful way that makes sense. And it's imperative that it makes sense, because this one book spans thousands of years.
