Synopsis
A Fire Upon the Deep is the big, breakout book that fulfills the promise of Vinge's career to date: a gripping tale of galactic war told on a cosmic scale. Thousands of years hence, many races inhabit a universe where a mind's potential is determined by its location in space, from superintelligent entities in the Transcend, to the limited minds of the Unthinking Depths, where only simple creatures and technology can function. Nobody knows what strange force partitioned space into these "regions of thought," but when the warring Straumli realm use an ancient Transcendent artifact as a weapon, they unwittingly unleash an awesome power that destroys thousands of worlds and enslaves all natural and artificial intelligence. Fleeing the threat, a family of scientists, including two children, are taken captive by the Tines, an alien race with a harsh medieval culture, and used as pawns in a ruthless power struggle. A rescue mission, not entirely composed of humans, must rescue the children-and a secret that may save the rest of interstellar civilization., From a four-time Hugo Award-winning author comes this "New York Times" Notable Book of the Year--a space saga awesome in conception, and a riveting novel of conflict, love, loss, and survival. Reissue.

    The book was shipped a day after purchasing and was received a couple of days after. It was packaged in a padded envelope with cardboard wrapped around it. It was described as very good and in my opinion it was like new! To get it for the price I did was amazing! Thank you so much for your service.

    It was a nice surprise to see this listing, as it was the last title in this series I needed, and at a very fair price. I asked the seller for a photo of the spine of the book; not only did I get that, I was also sent another close-up of a minuscule defect that was not obvious in the original image. I bought the book, and received it quickly. It was bubble-wrapped, shielded in corrugated cardboard, and shipped in a padded mailer. This customer is very happy...

    Shipping was fast. Comic arrived as described. Item was purchased at a great value considering the scarcity of the comic. Packaging was less than desirable but the comic thankfully made it with no added creases or damage. Great seller
