4.0 out of 5 stars Fourth in an excellent and unusual series, 12 Oct 2006
By Marshall Lord (Whitehaven, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars trust issues, 7 May 2008
By Paul Tapner (poole dorset england) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
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.
