Title: Not as good as the first book
Review: I bought my copy of this sequel to "A Thousand Words for Stranger" as soon as it was available on Amazon.com because the first book was so excellent (and, incidentally, Czerneda's other book, "Beholder's Eye" was even better). However I have not been able to plow my way through this one; it just doesn't scintillate the way the two earlier books do. The Drapski (alien race) are really well done and demonstrate Czerneda's knowledge of biology and evolution, but her two main characters, Sira and Morgan, just don't click the way they did before. My advice is, if you haven't read any Czerneda yet, start with the first books and skip this one. And let's hope she does write a sequel to "Beholder's Eye."
