Read "Light" on my flight over from Ithaca, NY
|

I finished "An Alien Light" a few days ago. On the world of Qom, members of two warring factions of humans, Delesians and Jelites, are drawn to a mysterious grey city that appeared overnight. Several are selected by the Ged, an alien species willing to teach them and reward them with riches and weapons. But the Ged are not benevolent teachers. They are attempting to unravel the Central Paradox: How can a race that kills its own make it to the stars? Wonderful characters, excellent pacing, but the ending is a bit forced. Read "Beggars in Spain" then read this!
