Excellent read. This book is the 4th in the series and really the end of the trilogy in The Chanur Saga omnibus. You must read the series in order. Very smoothly written. Lots of action and science. It definitely kept me on the edge of my seat. And it's interesting because Tully - the male human who clings to the Chanur for safety - opens the Chanur females' eyes to the possibility of the male of a species as stable, contributing members of a space-going vessel. The other alien races in the series are all frightening and very untrustworthy. There is political intrigue, fighting, hyper-space, and lots of action of all kinds. Highly recommended for anyone who likes space science fiction or wants to try reading science fiction about space. I can't stress how much this series HAS to be read in sequence.
