An interesting view of an alien culture

I picked up this book second hand without any particular expectation ands was really surprised how good it was. The picture that Phillip Mann portrayed had excellent depth and forethought. The story progressively revealed a coherent view into an alien way of existence that I have rarely encountered (and kept wanting to read more). It made me immediately want to look for other titles by this author. Well done Mr Mann.

excellent book

I read a fair amount of science fiction and know how much trash is out there. This book really stands out for its good writing, interesting plotting, and imaginative speculation. This is one of the better realized alien cultures in this genre. I Enjoyed this book a lot and recommend it, also, if you can find it.

Eye of the Queen is a very involved yet accessible novel.

Set in the not-so-distant future, the earth has explored most of its neighboring star systems. A surprise comes when the earth is suddenly visited by the first extra terrestrial species that posesses superior technology. Marius Thorndyke and Tomas Mnaba, contact linguists from earth, travel to the planet of the super race and encounter answers to the ultimate questions of mankind. Very engaging, stunning visuals, imaginative dialogue and characters. Very well worth reading, if you can get a copy.
