Fine writing and characterization, engaging plot.

Humans descended from an emergency landing on a planet of Delta Pavonis and out of contact with humanity ever since are transfixed by the crash of another human ship 250 years later. This is great stuff. Wilder (a pseudonym for Cherry Barbara Grimm) is a fine writer, almost poetic at times, and does an excellent job of characterization, development of believable aliens, and plotting. I was reminded of the Hugo-award-winning author C. J. Cherryh, so much so that I thought this was a book by her (it's not--her real name is Caroline Cherry). A nice surprise from an author I had not heard of, but will definitely search for in the future.
