Book two of John Varley's Gaea Trilogy is interesting in contrast to the Ringworld series. I really liked the first Ringworld book. But, after that, Niven seemed more interested in talking about alien inter-species sex than in writing a coherent and interesting story. (That's right! I'm dissing Ringworld. Ender's Game sucks too.) Wizard also delves into sex with aliens, but it doesn't detract from the story, much.

Nor is the book simply more of the same. This is a very different book from Titan. The characters have more depth. It's pretty damn good. Certainly good enough to make me read final book. It's only real drawback, common to most middle installments of trilogies, is that it's really just setting things in place for the final book. Given that inherent limitation, it's still a fine read.

Second in the Gaean Trilogy. Human explorers have entered the sprawling mind of the alien Gaea. Now they must fight her will. For she is much too powerful. And definitely insane.
