Meer over het boek
Robert Heinlein, creator of the unforgettable Universe, once found himself mediating a discussion between supporters of sociological science fiction and advocates of space-oriented narratives. When it was his turn to express his personal opinion, he hesitated for a long time. He began by diplomatically acknowledging the merits of the sociological genre, which is more firmly anchored in the reality of our world. But he paused with a sigh and delivered this historic verdict in favor of the space-oriented: "Our world is old and worn out. Better to go look for another!" Wise words. However, when a new space author begins to write, they must contend with the many other worlds that previous authors have sought and found before them. The risk is that the new world may feel old and worn out to the reader before the protagonists even set foot in it. But in this novel by Perry A. Chapdelaine, there is no fear: the reader (aside from the hell awaiting them in the swamps) can proceed with confidence.
