Customer Reviews

A masterpiece by one of the original masters

I have read this book many times, and have come away amazed each time. One of the things I enjoy most about science fiction is the quality of the ideas it explores, and Williamson's are not only outstanding but bountiful. A lot of casual asides and brief exchanges between characters are rich with ideas that could easily require the length of a book to explore. As one would expect from an author who has been writing and winning awards for as long as he has, the plot, characterizations, style, etc. are all first-rate. Find this book and you will be delighted.

A masterpiece

This is one of the first sf books I read (after happily stumbling across one fourth of it in an Analog magazine). It's the story of the struggle of humans to survive a world that is inhabited by better creatures--creatures that humans had shortsightedly made. It is also a love story. It is also a story of self-discovery. Williamson's philosophy of self-empowerment and humanism comes through in what can sometimes be a dehumanizing genre. I recommend this book to everyone!
