Nicely done story. Good memorable characters - loved how he kept using the same names for the spiders, that was clever. Liked the mechanisms by which the spiders become sentient and then develop their technology. Great descriptions of the spider habitats, the increasing desperation of the ship's crew, the mutiny. I liked how the spiders dealt with the Messenger and I especially liked the end. If you're paying attention you saw that coming, and it was wonderful. But I did think it was a bit long.
