Worth Finding

Long out of print, this book deserves a better fate than oblivion. Chase constructed an ingenious plot centered around the idea of co-evolution between humans and a distinctly alien species. The quality of writing is solid, and indeed, above average for books in this genre.

Unusual and Imaginative Effort

This book deserved wider readership at the time of publication. It is decently written, has an imaginative premise, and is considerably better than many better known books in the genre. The setting is on a distant planet where humans are chattels of supremely intelligent marine invertebrates. This book is essentially an exploration of the idea of species co-evolution set as a conventional space opera. Well worth reading if you can find it in a used bookstore.
