A Deepness in the Sky is a science fiction novel by American writer Vernor Vinge. Published in 1999, the novel is a loose prequel (set twenty thousand years earlier) to his earlier novel A Fire Upon the Deep (1992). The title is coined by one of the story's main characters in a debate, in a reference to the hibernating habits of his species and to the vastness of space.

Review of 'A Deepness in the Sky' on 'Goodreads'

I almost didn't read this book. After reading Fire Upon the Deep and Children of the Sky, I wasn't entirely thrilled about starting a new book by Vinge that didn't have the characters in it. I'm glad that I did, it was a joy to read. Another top notch sci-fi book that has a very exciting ending.
