The Starship Praihawk meets the Starship Mantis in a battle of three sides. In the 3rd voyage through the Angry Galaxy, Sam, Bohai & Teak, now with Kirin, Tenken and the robot Max, cruise through a deadly galaxy to explore new resources on their journey back to Earth. On the way through a dark corner of the cosmos, they are attacked by multiple sides of a war that has raged in this sector for years. And then a great ship stops them cold. Shaped like a praying mantis, it is crewed by an alien species with technology far beyond anything seen before. The crew of the Praihawk must play two sides against each other and try to rescue a cargo ship to save their own lives. Until they realize what the cargo ship holds! They are caught in battle once more, this time against a force more advanced than any they have encountered before. To escape, they must land on a storm-ridden planet. This is no accident. They have been steered here from their first entry into the dark galaxy. Something needs them on the cruel planet. Everything rests on the mysterious cargo and the mission to save it. The third voyage through the Angry Galaxy will bring the Praihawk nose to nose with the most advanced society and the most feared ship in the cosmos.

Now with a new introduction for the Tor Essentials line, A Fire Upon the Deep is sure to bring a new generation of SF fans to Vinge's award-winning works. A Hugo Award-winning Novel! “Vinge is one of the best visionary writers of SF today.”-David Brin Thousands of years in the future, humanity is no longer alone in a universe where a mind's potential is determined by its location in space, from superintelligent entities in the Transcend, to the limited minds of the Unthinking Depths, where only simple creatures, and technology, can function. Nobody knows what strange force partitioned space into these "regions of thought," but when the warring Straumli realm use an ancient Transcendent artifact as a weapon, they unwittingly unleash an awesome power that destroys thousands of worlds and enslaves all natural and artificial intelligence. Fleeing this galactic threat, Ravna crash lands on a strange world with a ship-hold full of cryogenically frozen children, the only survivors from a destroyed space-lab. They are taken captive by the Tines, an alien race with a harsh medieval culture, and used as pawns in a ruthless power struggle.
