<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>A science fiction adventure-thriller by Hugo Award-winner Joan D. Vinge. Cat, the popular anti-hero of <i>Psion </i>and <i>Catspaw</i>, tries to go home to a planet inhabited by Hydrans, the telepathic humanoid aliens from whom he gets his own mind-powers. Love, danger, and controversy all follow him as he tries to mine dreamfall, the physical embodiment of thoughts that accumulate in bizarre, fascinating deposits, like a mineral, but with far greater complexities, on the planet.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Cat, the halfbreed telepath hero of <i>Catspaw </i>and <i>Psion</i>, joins a research team on Refuge, homeworld of his mother's people, the Hydrans. Immediately, he finds trouble when he helps a Hydran woman escape human pursuers. <p/>The decimated Hydran population of Refuge is confined to a bleak homeland, by a huge corporate state, Tau Biotech. Tau also controls Refuge's one unique natural resource, Dreamfall. The tangible residue of cast-off thoughts from beautiful, enigmatic cloud whales, dreamfall forms vast reefs, sacred to the Hydrans, but mere exploitable data to Tau. <p/>Caught between Tau and desperate Hydrans who fight to reclaim their world, Cat must somehow forge the ruins of the past into a means to defeat Tau's brutality to save his people--and himself.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"... richly detailed and suspenseful ... deftly explores themes of family and loyalty ...
