Hugo Award, Best Novel, 1984

"This is one of the outstanding SF novels of recent years." (Publishers Weekly)
"As the plot thickens and the relationships between the characters become more complex, Wilson's narration is a calm and steady beacon." (AudioFile)

I was listening to this book because it is included in the free catalogue and I was just looking for some syfy. the story overview was reading quite funny to me as there's dolphins in space and all such things and I expected maybe a little weird but verbs entertaining listening experience. admittedly, the first of few chapters I just listened at the site not being very carefully listening, but then at some point the first third of the book at some point the story got really got me really hooked up and I found myself enjoying the universe as well as the characters quite a lot and am now continuing to read the other parts of the books in this universe. also, the readers voice is very soothing and accompanied me very well during bedtime and commuting to work

I got surprisingly way more into it than I anticipated
