Title: A wonderful long-awaited sequel to The Snow Queen
Product review: We finally return to the incredibly complex universe and world of Tiamat. After reading The Snow Queen many years before, I was thrilled to see that Vinge had finally written a sequel. Vinge weaves a marvelously complex tapestry in this mammoth novel. The new Summer Queen must hold off the galactic powers who want to exploit her world, specifically the mers, whose blood has life-lengthening properties. What these same galactic powers don't realize is that the mers hold the key to the sibyl network on which much of Galactic civilization is founded. Destroy one and you destroy the other. A magnificent read. The publisher was incredibly foolish to allow it to go out of print.
