A Fire Upon The Deep (Zones of Thought)
1 journaler for this copy...
From my friend's box of books she was going to get rid of. Yay for salvage operations. :)
From the back cover:
Fleeing a menace of galactic proportions, a spaceship crashes on an unfamiliar world, leaving the survivors--a pair of children--to the not-so-tender mercies of a medieval, lupine race. Responding to the crippled ship's distress signal, a rescue mission races against time to retrieve the children and recover the weapon they need to prevent the universe from being forever changed. Against a background depicting a space-time continuum stratified into "zones of thought," the author has created a rarity--a unique blend of hard science, high drama, and superb storytelling.

Started, but couldn't get into it. Under BookCrossing influence, I'm going to give up on it (unless I absolutely run out of things to read) in favor of spending my little free time on more productive books.
