This was only an ok book. I think the main reason I didn't care for it was the pacing which was way too slow. It took way too long to get to the main destination and too many side plots were thrown in. The romance between the main characters felt contrived and was wholly unnecessary. ( )

It took time to get into the crowded confusing world of the overpopulated space station, but once it got going, the story was a lot of fun. Earth's terraforming projects have gone disastrously awry and too many people have been waiting on space stations - no safe planets to emigrate to and Earth won't take them back. 20 odd years later, an ambitious scientist shows up, ready to save humanity, but she must first deal with station culture and politics. The romance does get a bit goofy by the end, but I enjoyed it thoroughly. ( )

Really great book! I would have given it 4.5 stars if possible, just because a few things felt a little contrived (the love story was a little weird and I felt like the revelation of the 'siders on the space station was kind of confusing - like, so what about it? The mystery/combustible nature of that secret was not clear to me for quite a while, I just couldn't understand why it was such a secret/revelation). But overall, this was just a really solidly written SF story. The characters are clearly drawn and sympathetic despite their diverging goals. Czerneda does a great job slowly unravelling various mysteries throughout. Lots of great action, especially toward the end. A satisfying conclusion. So glad I found this author! ( )

Trapped in an alien condition, on an overcrowded and dying space station, Aaron Pardell is hunted down by the xenobiologist Dr. Smith who thinks he might be the key to the solution to the until now fatal infestation of Quill.
Is he?

While a slow read initially the story picks up motion when the Earther scientist tries to leave the space station without losing what she came there for, and the last 3-400 pages just flew by.

The ending, while slightly anticlimactic, was satisfying. After all, when the dust have settled, it's nice if at least someone survives ;-) ( )

Mankind went to the stars, but did not find intelligent life. They tereformed worlds, but then the Quill started to destroy. There had only been one possible surviver of a Quill infestation - a boy that grew up on a space station.

Gail had managed to convince Grant that Tobo's idea of randomly shutting down lowerdecks' gravity in the middle of shipnight wasn't essential to his troops' training for space. Convincing the vastly entertained Tobo, whom she suspected of hiding a vid in the troops' quarters, had taken a fair amount of outright yelling.
This place that worked so well on the surface depended on the most fragile balance of trust and mutual self-interests.
He looked wildly excited -- a not unusual expression, since the man was capable of passion over slime mold -- and Gail had a difficult time keeping her expression properly stern and displeased.
The explorers enjoyed a rare freedom in their search, but paid for it with extremes of isolation, boredom, and unending failure.
"Is Aaron all right?" Malley asked the tech.
"How can you ask if a corpse is all right?" shrieked Sazaad.
"How can you keep talking if I cut your throat?" Malley thought it a reasonable question, but the man turned into a limp weight and slid bonelessly out of his grip.
