5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent First Contact Novel, 23 Aug 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Color of Distance (Paperback)
This was a great first contact novel. It was especially good since a Human becomes an inadvertant ambassador for our race, and is reliant on making her relationship work for her survival. I was really glad the next book in the series was available as soon as I finished this book, so I could continue to read on. I can't wait for the 3rd book.

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW, 11 Jun 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Color of Distance (Paperback)
Wonderful story, colorful descriptions that bring me into a new and rich world. Half way through this book I realized that I was reading a receipe on the potential: for healing ones self and others, for combining beingness across self-boundaries while maintaining the integrity of self. All this while enjoying a wellspun story.
