Trapped on the exotic alien world of Typhon, their DNA forcibly altered by a strange (and often capricious) godlike entity, Dilani and her fellow colonists no longer know who or what they are. What... This description may be from another edition of this product.
This, along with it's predecessor "Tyhpon's Children" is an excellent addition to the Sea SF subgenre. As a sequel, it's subject to the usual law of sequels... they aren't quite as good as the first book. This one still rates 4 stars on its own.It didn't blow me away the way 'TC' or the contemporaneous 'Starfish' did, but Sir Arthur's 'Deep Range' legacy is in good hands.

Riders was a very well crafted sequel. If you enjoyed Typhoon then you should like returning to find out how the characters fared. Lots of questions are answered and the plot is quite well thought out. The only thing about the book that bothered me was that, while it answered some questions it left some unanswered and raised even more. Upon finishing the book I was left without a feeling of resolution. I am hoping for yet another sequel to finish anwering all my other questions and all the mysteries of Typhoon. So if you read this book be ready to be kept in waiting.
