Marooned in Realtime is incredible, one of the best sci-fi books I've ever read. The combination of the wildly imaginative SF elements with the detective novel structure grounding it works so incredibly well.

Can I jump right to this novel or do I have to start elsewhere? I've never read him before.

It builds on the Peace War, and I'd read that first. (But also, both books are fairly short, much smaller than Fire Upon the Deep.)

I believe Marooned is a stand-alone story.

Fire Upon the Deep is the first of 2 (or 3?). I highly recommend that. Older readers will love the Usenet jokes.

It stands alone. I read it first before Peace War and didn't find Peace War as good, though still very enjoyable.
