4.0 out of 5 stars A nice old-fashioned romantic sf-adventure, December 29, 2003

Peter D. Tillman (Taos, NM USA) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Fugitive in Transit (Daw science fiction) (Paperback)

-----------------------------------------------------------
This is a nice old-fashioned romantic sf-adventure. Ruth Thalia Adams, aka
Alia is on the run from the Galactic Transit Authority, which operates a
subspace subway system that we Earthlings literally fell into. Alia, who looks
and acts like a Greek goddess, meets classics professor Peter Ward at a ruined
temple to Aphrodite. They make mad, passionate love, and Peter learns that
Thalia won a fortune as a diamond prospector on Nuerth, a colony world
reluctantly granted to Earth by the stuffy Auld, who run the Transit Authority.

Anyway, Thalia goes on, twitting the staid Auld rulers, especially the Galactic
Marshall who's hot on her tail. Revelations ensue that won't surprise the
experienced reader, but it's a likeable book with likeable (if two-dimensional)
characters -- lthough Thalia/Alia can be pretty cold-hearted.

This is one of two Llewellyn novels published posthumously (he died in 1984).
He's been almost forgotten, but if you have a taste for old-fashioned romantic
SF, Fugitive wouldn't be a bad place to start.

Happy reading!
Pete Tillman
