A Planet of Playthings...,
By Terran Trader (Bethesda, MD United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Heaven Makers (Paperback)
Have you ever seen someone do something senseless, and then heard them say "What made me do that?" Have you ever seen something you couldn't explain, and wondered if you were the only one who saw it? Have you ever felt like fate was toying with you, even tormenting you? In this Nebula Award-winning scifi story, the immortal Chem are the cause of these troubles that afflict humanity. Desperate for amusement to soothe their troubled minds and hold off boredom, the Chem use the Earth as their movie set, and humans as their unwitting and unfortunate reality-show actors. Anyone who understands the idea and purpose of the Prime Directive in Star Trek would be horrified at what the Chem do. They don't just ruin lives; they create lives for their own use. The story centers around an investigator sent by the Chem collective authority (Primacy) to a storyship making movies on Earth, where 6 previous investigators have been lost. Even the Chem have laws, and a popular storyship producer, Fraffin, is suspected of being involved in illegal activities. What price will Kelexel, the investigator, pay to discover the truth? And what will humans do if they find out that they are only pawns of these powerful beings?This is a quick read, and an excellent story; highly recommended.
