Praise for The Deep Beyond:
“A study in alienation and adaptation.” —Publishers Weekly
“Cherryh has the uncanny ability to yank readers into an alien culture and to keep them there. A book to be treasured (cover and all) by advanced readers who can catch all the nuances cleverly incorporated into the remarkable tale. Let us hope for a sequel.” —Kliatt
“Cherryh gives us here a finely imagined first contact whose like I cannot recall. I do keep raving about Cherryh, and this time is no exception. Cuckoo’s Egg is excellent, and execution is only part of the reason. Cherryh is consistently original…. she strikes me as doing more to shape the future of SF than any other writer now living. She, almost alone, is inventing new kinds of stories.” —Analog
“Cherryh’s customary strengths are all here—brisk pacing, above-average characterization of both human sexes and also of nonhumans, and genuinely brilliant worldbuilding.” —Booklist
“A fascinating alien civilization.” —Locus
