Book Reviews of Dreamfall (Cat)

Book Review: Love it!!
Summary: 5 Stars

I absolutely love this story! I read it for the first time in high school and since then have re-read it about 3 times (which is a lot... I hardly ever re-read books. At most, I'll re-read it once).

The elements of cyberpunk and romance in this book really draw you in. The characters are completely genuine and the world is believable. Not every science fiction or fantasy book is like that, but this one is.

And for people wondering whether or not they'll be able to know what's going on if they haven't read the books before it, don't worry. This was the first book I ever read by Joan D. Vinge, and I kept up just fine. The book reads well by itself.

Summary of Dreamfall (Cat)

Cat, the halfbreed telepath hero of Catspaw and Psion, 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.

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.

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.
