Format:Mass Market Paperback
Fourth book in a very imaginative and fascinating series.
The sequence is: Book One, City of Pearl
Book Two, Crossing the Line
Book Three, The World Before
Book Four, Matriarch
Book Five, Ally
Due in April 2008: book 6, Judge
Works best when read in this sequence. Very rare to find an SF series where the aliens are both plausible and genuinely different from humans. Also a good take on the ecological aspects of relations between different species. If you like David Brin's two "Uplift" trilogies ("Sundiver" et. seq.) then you will very probably like this, and vice versa.

Format:Mass Market Paperback
Beginning to feel like a trilogy that has been stretched to six volumes. More twists and turns for the characters but very little real plot development. I disagree with a previous reviewer in that I do not think anything particularly unexpected happens. Nevertheless Traviss writes well enough to make it reasonably entertaining. I shall probably continue to the end of the series.
Format:Mass Market Paperback
fourth in a series of novels from science fiction writer karen traviss, about shan frankland, tough british policewoman who is thrust into conflict between humans and alien races on a far flung world and changed forever as a result. You could possibly get into this volume if you've not read the others - see the other review for a list of the series - but start at the beginning of the series and you will get more out of it.
Things proceed apace here from the end of book three, and character relationships develop with a few twists and turns along the way. some do things that will shock you and that you didn't expect.
Whilst this does feel rather mid book in a series in that it sets things up for later, it's still an excellent read in an excellent series.
