If you've read Dreamsnake, and were wondering just what was on the other side of the door into Center, this is the book that covers that. Center is a fascinating world in its own right, as the last bastion of technological Earth. Unfortunately they've become so insular they practically don't know the rest of the planet exists. Ms. McIntyre's writing still has the uncanny power it shows in Dreamsnake that will leave you imagining Center and its people long after the details of plot have vanished from your memory.
