Explanation As Books Retread Shop
Mostly boring with scattered average bits. The author tried to create long lived aliens but their cultures didn't reflect their longevity . Nothing really fit right and there was no genuine depth. A hodgepodge of ideas strung together badly. Mocking faith at the beginning then introducing worshipped figures and god like characters at the end just didn't have any logical consistency - as if he wrote it over such a long period that he forgot what he had said in chapter 2. Lots of irrelevant details but crucial plot elements left out entirely ("and two years later ...") Dated SciFi. ZzzzzzDescribe Books Toward Retread Shop

I didn't write it (see below).. I enjoyed it! Great premise!No one could think of such a Hard Core Sci-Fi story (not at least me) other than Tom King.I proudly admit, after reading this Novel, Tom King is my favorite Hard Core Sci-Fi author. Im very much impressed and thrilled by the idiolect Tom King possess.I'm a huge Sci-Fi fan but never have I come across such a fantastic novel.It's full of crazy imaginations, a world full of aliens and not a single human being except a lanky and gangling boy Billy.Story:- The story itself was fascinating and very
I made it about halfway through before realizing there was no plot to be found. Some really interesting ideas are explored, but I grew bored waiting for something to happen.
This is my first hard science fiction action adventure novel that features a young orphan on an alien-run space station that is centered on Trade and how to get rich. Will appeal to readers of books by Alan Dean Foster, David Brin, and James White.
I just finished this book and while I was reading it I thought, "This reads like something from the 80s"Turns out, it was. 1988 His roots as a professional archaeologist show up in this spot on cultural commentary. I enjoyed it greatly.
