Customer Reviews

One of the best classic SF books I have ever read.

When I read this book I really enjoyed it. I read so many books that when I picked it up several months later and started reading, I read it again and enjoyed it as much as the first time I read it and added it to my keeper pile. In the future Ireland survives the dark ages to rule the world. They sponser the first starship to a new world but there are problems with religious beliefs and the behavior of some of the crew. When they reach the new world, these people are the last to leave the ship and diverted thousands of miles away from the colony. The struggle for survival and reaching the colony make for a great read.
