"Returning to SF's best-developed future history series, Cherryh once again demonstrates her unparalleled ability to imagine what it would be like to live and to work in outer space. Despite an abundance of exciting action, this is character-driven drama that represents old-fashioned SF at its very best." - Publisher's Weekly, Nov. 3, 1997.
