Review by: orangekiwi on March 10, 2013 :
I first read this book in paper as a teenager and it stuck with me since then, so when I saw that it was available as an ebook I bought it. Its still a great book and I have now gone on to buy the rest of the series some of which I hadn't read before. This first book is a great first contact situation with clash of culture misunderstandings and characters that you can root for
(reviewed long after purchase)
