Review: Cliffhanger
Rating: 5 out of 5

This is a great book and well worth reading.  But it ends in a cliffhanger which makes me anxious for the next volume.  This book's ending is worse than the ending of Dragonfall.Aside from leaving me hanging, the book is delightful.  The crew of the Garnet Hyde, Aneka along, are finally beginning their scientific survey of the Xinti ship they found in the previous book.  However, unexpected things happen and bad people try to hurt them since without that there wouldn't be a story.Aneka faces all with her usual competence, but even she is hard pressed to keep everything together from time to time.  It's an exciting action story and well worth the long wait for it to appear.  Now I'm going to be holding my breath waiting for the next one.As far as well-crafted and thoroughly fascinating tales are appreciated, this series is starting to become a serious contender with Thaumatology for the prize.  Within a half-a dozen more books, I'm going to have serious trouble picking which series I like better.
