In 2065, when a Navajo girl tries to prove a breakthrough scientific theory by using advanced technology in her father's laboratory, she instead finds herself transported to an alternate world among an intelligent and hostile species in this science fiction novel. The girl's broad capacities for communication, creativity, and curiosity are vital in her struggle to survive and make sense of her strange new world. Using real science and plausible technology concepts, this life-affirming story is notable among other science fiction works for its strong theme of tolerance and its striking minimalist style.

Absolute Values
6.0 stars. On my list of "All Time Favorite" Novels. As has been mentioned before, this book is really the second half of a much larger book began in Pandora's Star. When counting the first book, this story comes in at almost 2000 pages. As daunting as that may seem, I was amazed by how easy it was to stay focused on the story. All of the different plot lines were so interesting and well done that I was never waiting for the pace to quicken. No doubt, Hamilton spends considerable time on details and minor plot points, but he does it so well and adds so many interesting bits about the universe that it never seems to drag.
In addition to Hamilton's superb writing, the two greatest attributes on the novel are (1) the incredibly detailed, complex plot, the gradual but steady advancement of which is the common thread throughout the story and (2) the universe of the "Commonwealth" that is as good as any I have ever seen in science fiction (yes including giants like Dune and The Foundation Trilogy).
This series raises the bar considerably on what grand scale space opera should be. HIGHEST POSSIBLE RECOMMENDATION!!!
