"This was a pretty good sequel to The Mote in God's Eye. The first few chapters had a Mormon group that I thought might be portrayed meanly but it turned out okay."
"A decent conclusion to a two-book series beginning with The Mote in God's Eye. The difference is that the Moties are breaking out and that the story is told more from the merchant perspective."
