Over two hundred years after the first colonists landed on Pax, a new set of explorers arrives from Earth on what they claim is a temporary scientific mission.

But the Earthlings misunderstand the nature of the Pax settlement and its real leader. Even as Stevland attempts to protect his human tools, a more insidious enemy than the Earthlings makes itself known.

Stevland is not the apex species on Pax.

Kasvien planeetalla uusi uhka

Siinä missä ensimmäinen osa (jonka tapahtumat olin jo unohtanut) kertoi useiden sukupolvien tarinan Pax-planeetan siirtokunnassa, tämän kirjan tarina kuvaa kuinka Maasta lähetetään uusi porukka Paxiin ja mitä konflikteja se synnyttää. Melko leppoisaa jännärin tynkää, lukuunottamatta jotenkin suhteetonta julmuutta mitä Maassa oli tapahtunut. Pax-planeetta on kyllä kiehtova älykkäine kasveineen.

Review of 'Interference' on 'Goodreads'

A very uneven book, and something of a disappointment after the excellent Semiosis. At times I was thrilled, especially when the narrator was one of the smart plants or the characters were exploring the unknown. At other times, the narrators were humans fighting for the Idiot Ball with such gusto that I'd like them all to have died in a fire. Yes, there was a plot point explaining why the human characters were so stupid, and it was brought up right away but still: when you have wondrous things to write about, and obviously the skill to do so, why would you waste your time with characters who are just so petty and annoying? Gaah.

Still, I did love parts of it. So, a compromise between two and four stars.
