It starts slow and never really picks up. The romance is contrived and improbable and there is way too much technically jargon about land faults and earthquakes and tectonic plates. I was also disappointed there wasn't more about the Na-Dina culture. There was some and I enjoyed, but for being on the Na-Dina homeworld, you didn't see much of their daily life. I was pleased with the bits you did see - in particular the gender discussions between the Na-Dina and human characters. The who-dunnit part was well done, if a bit obvious. Overall, this is a decent story - just not as good as the other novels in the series. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

An archeologist-diplomat on an ancestor-worshipping planet is murdered. A human-alien team sets out to find who done it. If some of the characters did not have scales and tails, I would swear we were in late 19th-century Egypt exploring gravesites with Elizabeth Peters’ Amelia Peabody. Maybe I will reread some of those now. ( )
