Attualmente non vi sono conversazioni su questo libro. 60's sci-fi , party straight-ahead in a Twilight Zone / Star Trek (author wrote for the show) way, party trippy 60's (esp. at end.) Would recommend if that description appeals to you. I liked it, quick read. I bought it just for wacky cover, so had low expectations and was happily surprised. ( ) A really different kind of SF, combining personal growth and comminucation themes within a space-opera plot framework. VERY impressive - I can't believe I never saw this before. I've been impressed with a number of David Gerrold's books as I encountered them, but this book has tipped me over the edge: I'm going to have to systematically track down all of them. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Take an interstellar journey through a ruined empire in this novel by a Nebula Award-winning author . . . Mass comes from a harsh world named Streinveldt, where the gravity is 2.5 times that of Earth and only genetically engineered people can reside. Mass is humanoid, genetically evolved to cope with greater pressures, stronger gravity, and heavier densities than those of an ancient planet he never knew, and probably never would. For Mass, Earth is millennia in the past. Four hundred years ago, the Empire encompassed eleven thousand inhabited worlds. It was the center of a thriving trade economy. Then, almost overnight, the Empire collapsed, leaving the remaining planets virtually isolated from one another. Mass decides to search for the Empire with a diverse group of companions who have also evolved to withstand the environments of the vastly different worlds they inhabit. To live, they must find a way to come together, as they're faced with intense pressure, clashing perspectives, and unfamiliar circumstances . . . Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
