An enjoyable story. It has a depth that I can't explain well because I can't fully get my head around it, but I can say this is one way science fiction *should* be used--to really get into issues like communication and culture clashes in a neutral setting that lets you really explore the issue itself instead of getting sidetracked on the *sides* of the issue.
Well worth reading if you like a slow story that explores character motivations, culture and language, with a side of danger and dash of adventure.
