Up until recently, I have to confess that I had not heard of Edmond Hamilton (even though I most likely read some of his work on The Legion of Super-Heroes in my childhood). Having come across some people raving about this book at a Forum, I was lucky enough to get my hands on a copy and I am certainly glad that I did.
It is a very enjoyable book, which while clearly marked by its time (the 50s) still holds up and keeps surprising the reader. I do not want to reveal too much, since ha More...

Golden Age (1951) SciFi in the "dying earth" genre, interesting although I had trouble getting past the dated (cultural) ideas to really enjoy the book. Incredible to think that this book was written before we went to the moon (a whole decade before).

I douldn't understand why the people did not want to exchange their dying, hostile planet for an Earthlike newer model. I have a feeling that it is because it is an Americal novel and for the world, read America.

Great perspective on the cultural environment in the early 1950's. It is also interesting in its perspective on technology and what will happen in the future. It makes clear the difficulties on predicting technological advancements.

Fascinating read - both the concept (which I'll leave to the reader to discover) and the amusing thoughts on what the future will be like as perceived by someone in the 1950's. Some interesting messages in the book about sentimentality, fear and happiness. I certainly enjoyed it.

I gave this book 3 stars because, although it is a terrible mess, I genuinely enjoyed reading it. It is by far the most badly-written, misogynistic, and far-fetched sci-fi novel I have ever read, and it had me laughing constantly.

The writing is not very good and the sexism was even more ridiculous than other old sci-fi (I'm not usually offended by sexism in sci-fi). Lame premise and unsatisfying ending.

I loved this novel the first time I read it as a young man. I own two copies and have read it about half a dozen times. Recommended.
