A Fire Upon the Deep by Vernor Vinge

Description: Classic science fiction novel, set in a universe divided into zones.

Pham Nuwen is sent to help a civilisation oppose the Blight.

Fleeing a menace of galactic proportions, a spaceship crashes on an unfamiliar world, leaving the survivors - a pair of children - to the not-so-tender mercies of a medieval, lupine race. Responding to the ship's distress signal, a rescue mission races against time to retrieve the children.
