| Omschrijving | Essef - Planeteer Boris Brazil visiting backwater colony planet with intelligent natives whose rituals center around a liquid with unpredictable effects on the earth-descended. After another planeteer drinks the Water of Thought and goes berserk, Boris follows him into the wilderness, and ultimately learns what the water is and how it works on the native species.
This is not a very good book, but with a variety of good qualities to it. Most notable actually are the illustrations by Janet Aulisio (of FASA/Shadowrun fame), which make it worth picking up. One can empathize well with planeteer Boris Brazil, though one also becomes tired of the variety of `natives' on the planet. This novel is, principally, about conflict in a lack of resources. |
