4.0 out of 5 stars
Interesting Book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Forward! (Mass Market Paperback)
Forward! is a collection of short stories about humanity set in a fairly wide variety of general sci-fi situations, with varying degrees of cohesion. The story I recall the best was about a colonized planet in the human sphere of influence. Details were somewhat sketchy, but humans had settled onto it, but there was a native, aboriginal-stage civilization living in the forests, while the settlers planted fields and subsistance farmed. As an unintentional consequence of their growing slash-and-burn tactics, a large force of adolescent natives attacked a settlement. A lone boy, the only survivor of the initial attacks, fought for days against tens of thousands of the natives from inside a fort, in an Alamo-style defence. It was a mournful story, well-written and engaging. The overall quality of the stories was decent, and the book is worth reading.
