Pennterra di Judith Moffett
This is an odd book. It's definitely not for everyone due to some sexual content that I'm not going to go into detail about (see other reviews for more information). But the environmental and religious aspect of the story are both compelling and well-done. Both seem quite timely, despite the book being over 30 years old. The overall themes reminded me of Anne McCaffrey and Elizabeth Ann Scarborough's Petaybee series, but with more alien aliens and much stronger writing.
Interesting, but started noddin' off near the end.
Interessante, thought-provocating Lektüre: Ein zunächst einmal eher standardmäßiges Setting - nach einer großen Katastrophe etabliert sich eine Kolonie auf einem anderen Planeten - entwickelt sich zu einer Auseinandersetzung mit unterschiedlichen Lebensentwürfen und Weltsichten. Die ursprüngliche Kolonie besteht aus (nicht mehr religiösen) Quäkern, die sich mit den Geboten der einheimischen Lebewesen, der empathischen Hross, arrangiert haben - keine Maschinen, ein begrenzter Ort, nur Erhalt, aber nicht Wachstum der Siedlung - und deren Nähe suchen. Ein weiteres Siedlerschiff landet, mit einer Gruppe, die sich den Planeten untertan machen möchte, und die Warnungen vor der Katastrophe ignoriert. Im Konflikt zwischen beiden Gruppen wird es wichtig, die fremdartige, nicht-evolutionäre Biologie des Planeten zu verstehen.… (altro)
Judith Moffett has moved away from the gay/lesbian/bisexual/transsexual stories that attracted me to her in the first place, but her writing is still good enough that I read through this romantic dog story with psychic elements.
