"This is the first volume of a two-book follow-up to the Coyote trilogy, set somewhat concurrent with GALAXY BLUES, another book set in Steele's Coyote universe. Though this one concerns many of the same characters, events, and settings as the earlier books, I don't believe that it would be necessary to read the others first in order to enjoy this one. It has the same rigidly structured format as the original trilogy; two halves divided into four sections each, with shifting viewpoints and concerns. Steele has outdone himself here; instead of concentrating on the theme of exploration, adventure, and colonization, he examines politics, religion, diplomacy, telepathy, and many other richly considered subjects in a way that made me feel I'd read something two or three times as long as the book actually is. I really hated the ending, though; not because it wasn't well written and convincing, but because I'd grown so close to the characters that it made me sad."
"A very nice read. Not a real book of short stories, but I liked the division into several parts. That gave each point of view or story a better feelings and overall helped the cohesiveness of the book. I think there is potential for many more such novellas or small works in the Coyote Universe.
I was very glad the ending was left the way it was. Just the way things happen in real life we don't always know all the answers."
"Enthralling, although it did not go in the direction that I was hoping!
I was intrigued by the appearance of the Hjadd (sp?) in the last book and was looking forward to learning about htem. However they only showed up in this book minimally in order to move the plot along. I would also have liked more about Coyote and its ecosystem and 'creatures'. I was disappointed when the storyline left the expedition and instead followed Hawk and his (somewhat unconvincing) new religious philosophy. The stereotypical villain also bothered me. But there were a lot of interesting developments here and I will look forward to Coyote Destiny to see how they play out. This book kept my attention and was a fast read."
