I read it in an afternoon. I wouldn't recommend it, it was a bit plodding, this happened then this other thing happened etc. No character development, no one very likeable or hateable.

After the pain in my ass that was The Battle of Forever, I thought "Hey, you have that other random book by Vogt, let's see if it was just sub-par like you remember it, or if reading that other piece of junk helped you pinpoint all of Vogt's self-indulgent fancies." Can you guess the outcome? It did not make me as violently hateful as The Battle of Forever, but man, I finished this only out of spite.

Again, Vogt has good ideas and sometimes a nice theme, but he handles the More...

A decent science fiction novel read during a break from Loyola University during the winter of 1983/84.
