'Gripping and sentimental, it makes us appreciate our planet's cosmic rarity while highlighting what might happen if we collectively realize that too late' Sabatine, BookTokWhen the inhabitants of a peaceful world are conquered by the bloodthirsty yumens, their existence is irrevocably altered. Forced into servitude, the Athsheans find themselves at the mercy of their brutal masters.Desperation causes the Athsheans, led by Selver, to retaliate against their captors, abandoning their strictures against violence. But in defending their lives, they have endangered the very foundations of their society. For every blow against the invaders is a blow to the humanity of the Athsheans. And once the killing starts, there is no turning back.

A prescient novella about an interstellar logging colony, written by perhaps our greatest practitioner of "literary sci-fi"

Betyg & recensioner

2 recensioner, genomsnitt 4/5

  1. 3/5 EH

    Karaktärerna saknar djup och konflikten är komiskt svart och vit. I helheten är boken väldigt simpel i temat den förmedlar och erbjuder inte en särskilt nyanserad eller ens realistisk insyn på de verkliga problemen som den vill visa. Världen i sig är någorlunda intressant och interaktionen mellan karaktärerna kan vara intressanta ändå. Tillsammans med Le Guin's prosa håller boken en intresserad nog att läsa färdigt men den är inget märkvärdigt i sin helhet.
