    I love old school science fiction. These are a little bit dopey, but still a lot of fun. Lots of good gaming ideas.

    Another good story by Harrison. In some ways I liked this one even better then the first one. Guess that's why I'm giving this one 4 stars. Great imagination.

    Human beings have come to inhabit a world that is completely toxic to them. Gravity is twice normal, weather is brutal, geologically the planet still seems in an early stage of formation with constant volcanic eruptions and frequent quakes, and most importantly, all animal and plant life is venomous and hostile. In the beginning, the novel gives some hints of how society morphs to adapt to such an environment, and I thought that would be an idea to pursue further--but that is not this book.

    Turns out this book has an old-fashioned moral to it. It's not a bad moral, and it's one that's relevant to our times (as I'm sure it would have been to many times in the past).

    The moral comes in the penultimate chapter, and the book would have been a fine one if it had just ended there. We've had plenty of adventure and suspense to this time, and the moral makes a fine capper. But then a final chapter becomes overly preachy. Too bad. It was fine as it was.
