Editorial Reviews

Review

Many works of sf deal with approaches to new worlds. In some, the approach is confrontation or conquest; in others a political or sociological world-building takes place; in Journey we see not only the building of a society but the creation of a community, a haven, a home. This unusual tale is enriched by its science fictional trappings - a gentle alien race wins the friendship of suspicious humans; an exploding supernova signals the ending of one world and true commitment to a new one; a child grows to manhood and fulfills his dream of becoming a space adventurer; women not only bear children but fill important societal roles - but these well-drawn elements do not distract from what is essentially a family saga, a story not only of building a home but of homecoming. Highly recommended. - Library Journal --This text refers to the Kindle Edition edition.

This review is from: Journey (Paperback)

This is a reprint of a 1978 pocket book--It was good then and still is now-- It is kind of sci=fi soft like building a society and getting along and it is interesting.
