A Fire Upon the Deep was a great book, immensely enjoyable, and very smart sci-fi. Looking forward getting the sequel, although I might have to go back and reread the first one, it's been years.

Edit: just went on the Amazon website, and some of the comments are atrocious. I'll still go and buy it, but it was interesting to see that much scathing criticism from obvious Vinge fans. Also note that the sony store has a 0.99$ short story entitled "After the Battle on Starship Hill", subtitled "Prequel to the Children of the Sky and Sequel to a Fire Upon the Deep".
