A wonderful tale of exploration, of good and evil, of science and religion, of primitive and sophisticated cultures, of humans and aliens. Full of complexities and paradoxes, this is a really compassionate story of human choices in the face of hardship. Good SF. Not really fast paced, but moves right along, full of suspense. A great pity it is out of print.Note: this is definitely one or two classes above the later "Dragon quartet" by the first author which, although not really bad, is much more one-dimensional and is pure fantasy, a much easier genre to write.
