    Interesting trivia: The first page after the novel is an advertising page for "A Fire Upon the Deep", by Vernor Vinge, her ex-husband (with whom she remains on good terms). The ad says "Coming in February '93", which may mean that the listed publication date here, April '93, is incorrect. Another ad lists Future Fire by Orson Scott Card as available but it didn't get published in hardcover until 1998, in paperback until 2001.
