This book will absolutely envelope you with it's sense of place (Canadian wilderness), excellent writing, and just plain good story. I've read thousands of novels, but this is truly one of the few books that I didn't put down; I read it all in one sitting! Well worth the used price, as it's out of print new. THE EARTH LORDS is tie with Raymond Feist's FAERIE TALE for best fantasy book of all time. Reserve your copy before they're gone for good.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Thought-Provoking and entertaining book, January 14, 2000

This review is from: Earth Lords (Paperback)

Gordon Dickson's Earth Lords, as with most great Science Fiction, actually a book about now. His depiction of an alienated and discriminated against group plotting revenge against the world that made them outcasts should strike a chord with everyone who reads it. In addition, the characterisation, plot and prose are excellent, this is an 'easy' read, the pages turn quickly and the story envelopes you with ease. What it isn't is easy thinking. A book well worth seeking out.
