Many of these people suffer from the Dragon Ball Z problem of continuous one-upsmanship. SF nowadays reveals an extensive problem in the genre and the people defining the genre. Sanos was only one of the brilliantly created evil character types in Talon, and it made it to both novels which was unfortunate.

It would be worth reading “A Deepness in the Sky” if you insert at least one other book between the two novels, then perhaps the repetition is not so boring. “A Fire Upon The Deep” and “A Deepness in the Sky” are very similar: a beautiful comparative analysis study could be written about them.
