4.0 out of 5 stars Science Fiction / Fantasy, Well-Worth Looking For, April 13, 2000
This review is from: The Others (Hardcover)
Two races, living on isolated continents, inhabit a fertile planet. The Others are a peaceful, technologically-advanced, spiritual species, reminiscent of Vulcans (except without the hint of repressed emotion). They live lives of quiet contemplation and inner growth. The People are a warlike, unsophisticated, primitive race with a culture and technological level similar to Earth's European feudal period. Eventually, after an initial period of hero-worship by the People of The Others, the barbaric impulse to genocide causes the People to turn the technological gifts of The Others against them. Any interesting tale that reminded me of Michael Moorcock's "Chronicles of Corum" in which savage humans (Mabden) destroy a decadent, advanced race out of jealosy. I think also that there is a strong Star Trek influence in the portrayal of The Others (i.e. the Vulcans) and in the situation (remember the original series episode where "Nazis" are warring against their racial "inferiors" who were at one time their benefactors.) It was irritating to me to have the author create a race that seemed to have NO concept of self-defence even when their children and their entire existence is threatened but that may be a sign of how real this imaginary world was. Worth-looking for. Imagine, I found my hardback copy at a Rehab Hospital so something good came out of my accident!
