    MEET TRIGGER ARGEE....Half a block from the shopping center, a row of spacers on planet-leave came rollicking cheerily toward her.... Trigger shifted toward the edge of the sidewalk to let them pass. As the line swayed up on her left, there was a shadowy settling of an aircar at the curb to her right...

      In the depths of winter last year, I was running through a cold and unlit field near my house when I saw a trail of lights moving through the sky. I stopped. The air caught in my throat. “Bloody hell,” I thought, “were the UFO people right all along?

    • 1/5
      James Schmitz's novel, about a young woman who finds herself as the center of interstellar intrigue, is very much a work of its times. The plot itself is a fairly typical adventure tale, with the best ideas squeezed in at the end. While the main character, Trigger Agee, is supposedly as strong and capable, the rape scene involving her and the primary male protagonist reveals the misogynistic beliefs that date the book so badly. Together it makes the book a dated and disappointing read, one that can be bypassed in favor of its many better counterparts in the genre.
    • 3/5
      A somewhat annoying story - lots of very sexist bits which are mildly useful in setting Trigger's attitudes towards those individuals - but that's about all. Other than that, neat story - a lot more about the Hub, in passing, and a fascinating adventure.
    • 3/5
      Fairly standard scifi work with two-dimensional characters. There were some interesting plot twists, and a strong female lead. Entertaining.
    • 4/5
      Trigger Argee, a student is doing graduate work with the Pre-colonization team on a new planet. The hot news is that the Old Galactics, who seem to be gone, have left some semi-live biochemical processing units behind. The bad news is, everyone wants one!
