4.0 out of 5 stars I enjoyed it very much, 9 Jul 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Through Alien Eyes (Ace Science Fiction) (Paperback)
  You can read the other reviews to get a synopsis but the feeling I was left with was that the author has concentrated on the feelings of the various characters. I mean there's action and plot but the reader sees the motivation behind the action.   I've been reading science fiction for a long time and I was comparing this story to the days of Heinlen and Clarke where the biggest ray-gun won the day. Here, the conflicts are on a personal level and they get solved, not with some bigger, better, faster, stronger invention, but with people trying to reach an understanding.   It reminded me a little bit of Cordwainer Smith. He's an early sci-fi writer that used biological solutions when all of the other writers were using whiz-bang, high-tech hardware to save the day.   Thomson doesn't go into medical detail about how the Tendu achieve 'allu-a' (sort of a mind-meld), for example, but she does explore some of the aspects of a joining/sharing and how it would affect those involved.   All in all, I liked the story. This is the second book in the series and I read it before the first (I hate it when that happens). Now I have to find a copy of "The Color of Distance"
