Rescued from Paradise

Rocheworld #5

by Martha D Trustee

Rescued From Paradise is the fourth of four sequels to the science fiction novel Rocheworld by Robert L. Forward (Baen Books, New York, 1990). The other sequels Return to Rocheworld, Ocean Under the Ice and Marooned on Eden. In Rescued From Paradise , the children of the human explorers marooned decades ago on the Earth-like moon, "Eden," in the Barnard Star System, have to decide whether to stay on their idyllic birthplace with the friendly jelly-blob "flouwen" and the slow-moving tree-like "jollys", or to return to compete in the fast-paced combined human/robot civilization of the Solar System.

[Charl · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not as good as the first three, but still a good read. More character-oriented, and I'm more of a tech fan myself, but not so much so that I didn't enjoy it. A good conclusion to an epic story.

My copy of this book had the final block of 32 pages replaced with a second copy of the previous 32 pages, so I could not really finish it.
