Customer Reviews

Pulp sci-fi at its best

Aliens, empire of Man, and just one story of a man. This book is well-written, with a good sci-fi plot, characters that are a bit under-drawn but only because we are entering their lives in the midst of a crisis. They have a past, and will have a future, and this short book doesn't try to answer everything. And, as others have mentioned, it's sorta in the Darkover universe, but Darkover is mentioned only as a source of horses. It's a rollicking good ride with a hero that's a human hero, a bit risque for 1960, and chock-full of imagination. You won't find the stories of four or five (or forty or fifty) people weaving through one immensely long never-ending publishing buffet. Instead, it's told through the eyes of only one man, and told well.

Fun read

I think the other reviews of this book are unnecessarily harsh. Perhaps the difference is that I never read the Darkover novels, so I had no preconceived expectations. And while I have read several of MZB's other books, they were all quite different. The story is exactly what I expected - classic pulp science fiction. It is well-written and has a vivid and interesting world. Is it great literature? No. But it was a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
