    About this ebook

    When a man has a great deal of knowledge, it becomes extremely easy for him to confuse "knowledge" with "wisdom" ... and forget that the antonym of "wisdom" is not "ignorance" but "folly."

      AdaptionAuthor: Mack McCord ReynoldsPublisher: Project GutenbergPublished In: C, S, CDate: 2008REVIEW MAY CONTAIN SPOILERSSummary:Man must expand. Mankind must reach out to the stars. Seeding the stars, Man puts down colonies on multiple planets with small groups. These small groups are allowed to lie fallow for a millenium. Then, Earth sends out big brothers to shepherd the growing colonies back into the commonwealth of man. No one bothered to ask if these colonies a thousand years down the road of history wanted to rejoin the wider community of man.Genre:FictionScience fictionWhy this book:Space. Mankind’s future destiny in space.______________________________________________________________________________Favorite Character:In the first act, I liked Chessman. But as the story went along and he began to exhibit more Stalin-esque characteristics, I fell out of love with the character.Least Favorite Character: Plekhanov who sees himself as a Marx or Lenin figure.The Feel:Makes a nice commentary on the people discovering lands where other people already live and on advanced civilizations lording it over less advanced ones.Favorite Scene:When Plekhanov oversteps his bounds and tries to interfere in military operations and discovers exactly how far bluster will get him on a world where the power of the military man is growing as opposed to the social structure that his team left Earth with.The comeuppance is well done.Pacing:Great pacing on this story.Hmm Moments:The two planetary teams start off belligerent toward one another and continue to grow more. Instead of readying for a reunion with the greater galactic community of men, they appear to be headed toward an interplanetary war between the two inhabitable planets.Amshel is going to follow Plehanhov into “retirement” before too many more pages are done.I can’t imagine Earth is going to be too pleased with the two teams sent to develop the industrialization of the 2 planets when they finally make contact again.______________________________________________________________________________Last Page Sound:HA! Good luck explaining the way they did this the way they did it to the powers that be back home.Author Assessment:Definitely worthy of giving more of this author’s stuff a look. Editorial Assessment:Well done.Knee Jerk Reaction:glad I read itDisposition of Book:e-BookWould recommend to:genre fans
