About this title: Adam Eddigton, a brilliant student of marine biology, is thrilled when he is selected to be the summer assistant to Dr. O'Keefe. As he travels to Dr. O'Keefe's laboratory, which is on a small island off the coast of Portugal, he meets the attractive Caroline Cuttter. She gives Adam a mysterious warning about a passenger he will meet on his next flight. When her warning comes true, Adam finds himself in the center of a power struggle between two groups of people--only one of which can be right.

"Excellent book! For the first almost-quarter of the book, I thought the story was hackneyed and unimaginative, but as I discovered later, the way-too-coincidental "accidents" that occur early on weren't at all coincidental, and the seemingly-improbable were provided truly plausible and satisfying explanations that managed to resolve conclusively all my uncertainties about the ability of the author. The story progressed with rapidity through a number of unexpected turns. It was pleasingly full of intrigue, action, and questions about morality and common love. It's a good book, worth reading. If you find a copy, read it."
"This is another good book my L'Engle. I'm a bit confused about what she was getting at with it. It's worth reading, but if I hadn't read more of her other books, I wouldn't be searching her out. I didn't think that A Ring Of Endless Light really went that well together, and I felt that characters weren't consistent."
"I suppose I first read L'Engle in the mid-'60s--"A Wrinkle in Time". I must have been in high school when I read "The Young Unicorns", which is, like this one, a kind of thriller for teenagers. I don't remember when I first read "Arm", but had been hankering to reread it. Apparently it's currently out of print. I found this copy used. It's a very fine novel, even for adults, because L'Engle didn't write down to her audience, and unless you consider "Wrinkle" a thriller, this is her first in the genre. Swiftly and deftly plotted, involving, full of sadness and love, as befits L'Engle's positive but not rose-colored Episcopal theology."
"This was a re-read for me. The way I remembered the book was as a story of the O'Keefe family who is living in Portugal so that their dad can study the special properties of starfish and the intern who comes to work with him. I remembered it as an interesting book for those reasons.
The truth is that that is only a very small part of the book. It is a still a good book, but I was a little disappointed. I would have liked to have more of the family life, the science, and of course more character development integrated into the story."
