I have read this book several times, since i first discovered it in the eighties and i own the whole series. I have had to have the first book replaced because of it. cherryh weaves a great story that allows you to enter a world that has intriguing and fun. The main character is lovable and intense in her determination and greatness. It is a about a poleboater, Jones, who fishes out a foreigner, Mondragon, from the Det waters. What ensues is an adventure that takes them all over the sinking city and a beginning of a love affair between Jones and Mondragon is sweet and respectful. Great book and the series that follows, written by several authors is just as good.
This is the first book of a series I have loved for many, many years. It is one of my favorites of all time.
