From Publishers Weekly:
In her first novel, which begins a series set among the Unified Worlds, Thornley melds diplomatic intrigue, anthropological speculation and military derring-do into an effective yarn. Pursued by political enemies and alien slavers, a mother and her son, Tristan, escape to the planet Ganwold, where the boy is raised among the humanoid natives. Later, when Tristan, now a young man, seeks help for his ailing mother, his quest leads him into the complexities of interplanetary politics and to the realization of his paternal heritage as a soldier and pilot. Thornley's elaborate plot is bolstered by vivid descriptions of unusually compelling characters?though a few succumb to generic stereotypes. And while the military episodes often prove exciting, it is with the quieter, more textured presentation of Ganwold culture that Thornley excels. She presents a richly imagined world that is truly alien while at the same time still understandable. (

From Booklist:

Thornley's highly respectable debut inaugurates yet another saga laid in a future universe, the Unified Worlds. Darcie Dartmuth and her child Tristan flee from a dictatorship and survive among aliens. As a young man, Tristan is kidnapped by the dictatorship and must spend the rest of the yarn simultaneously flying the dictatorship's fighters and trying to escape to a friendly planet. This rather standard plot, with shadings of both Kipling and George Lucas, Thornley tricks out with plenty of action, competent characterization, and wit. Moreover, he sets it in a world that has a lived-in feeling that may owe something to Thornley's own experience as an air force officer. Good, solid action sf, it is commended to any collection full of such; and keep an eye out for a minimum of two more volumes in the Unified Worlds saga. Roland Green
