The Weave tells a first-contact story in which humans, seeking to exploit the much-needed resources of a system inhabited by creatures they assume are ''primitive'' and defenceless, discover their mistake the hard way. Human Caty Sanjuro, a seasoned marine and dedicated xenologist, and native Sundown, a determined astronomer, struggle to establish communication across the many barriers that divide their species, at first because they share a passionate interest in alien species, but finally because they know that only they can bridge the differences across species threatening catastrophe for both sides.
Vonda N. McIntyre, author of Dreamsnake and The Moon and the Sun, writes of The Weave: ''Unique protagonists. Unique aliens. Unique war. Nancy Jane Moore's remarkable first novel drew me in and kept me reading and left me, at the end, knowing that Caty Sanjuro and Sundown the Cibolan continue their work and their lives and their friendship. My favorite kind of novel.''
Michael Bishop, author of A Funeral for the Eyes of Fire, writes, ''In this accomplished first novel, Nancy Jane Moore dramatizes at least three great speculative themes: first contact, telepathic communication, and earthlings and aliens at war. In so doing, Moore narrates the compelling struggle of a brave human xenologist, Caty Sanjuro, to wring interspecies harmony from the chaos of interspecies misunderstanding and mistrust. Like Ursula Le Guin, Moore never settles for pat or clichéd extrapolations. Further, she treats each of her archetypal themes with adult thought-experiment thoroughness and all her characters, human and alien, with insight, respect, and compassion. Aficionados of real science fiction will love and celebrate this remarkable debut.''

Review "Moore realistically and enjoyably describes the excitement of scientific exploration, corporate greed, conspiracy, telepathic conflict, and the desperation of natives determined to defend their home against invasion." -- Publishers Weekly"The Weave ... is science fiction that thoroughly deserves its advance praise by Vonda N. McIntyre and Michael Bishop. ... In The Weave, even the sense of wonder gives way to outright surprise: comic, tragic, or somewhere indefinably between." -- Faren Miller, Locus."The Weave is an old fashioned First Contact hard-SF novel that fans of Eleanor Arnason and fans of Larry Niven could both appreciate." -- Sam Lubell on SFRevuThe Weave is on Locus Magazine's 2015 Recommended Reading List in the first novels category.

4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. An absolute delight, well crafted and thoroughly immersive By Kelsey Brookes I really enjoyed The Weave. It felt like the setup was a little too long and dragged somewhat, but the payoff in the last 2/3rds of the book was well worth it.The characters felt wholly realised and I never struggled to remember which character was who or what their motivation was. The depiction of an alien civilisation that's not too alien was wonderful. Thoroughly enjoyable and an immersive experience. By the time I was nearing the last few chapters I couldn't put it down and wound up staying up far too late to find out what happened.It's a story that stands on its own, and although I'd love to spend more time in this world the conclusion is satisfying and makes sequels unnecessary (although they would be more than welcome from this reader).Thank you Nancy Jane Moore for a wonderful read.

How about a sequel in which the humans have an election and the Cibolans can read the candidates' minds. Thanks for presenting such an interesting and consisitent new world and characters with full and identifiable personalities.

By Sara Stamey The Weave is a classic-style science fiction tale of alien contact that updates the tropes with contemporary issues of gender and corporate influence. The characters are fully-dimensional, and I was invested emotionally as the human anthropologist struggled against earthside interference to make essential communication strides with the sympathetic alien. I loved the exploration of different ways to communicate, other than through written or spoken language. And both aliens and humans had factions driven by special interests. An absorbing and immersive exploration of "the Other."
