Fire, then Deepness, then stop.
- ncmncm 6y agoOr Fire, then The Peace War. Maybe dip into True Names, followed by Shockwave Rider by John Brunner. Many people didn't like Deepness much. But the sequel to Fire, Children of the Sky, was interesting.
- mindcrime 6y agoIn either case, definitely read The Shockwave Rider by Brunner.
- aftbit 6y agoI quite enjoyed Rainbow's End as well.
- jessaustin 6y agoThere's an extra apostrophe there... this is addressed toward the end of the novel.
- hrnnnnnn 6y agoYes, it's not "The end of this particular rainbow", it's "rainbows have an end". It bugged me until I got to that part of the book.
- jessaustin 6y agoThat comment is a bit of a spoiler, isn't it?
- ak217 6y agoPersonally I found Fire and Deepness to be equally, profoundly, good. Haven’t found any other Vinge books to be nearly as good.
- mkl 6y agoFor me A Deepness in the Sky is his best, and one of the most memorable novels I've read. The Peace War is a fascinating exploration of "what if this one thing was possible?" and all its terrible consequences, but Deepness grabbed me much more as a story.
