5.0 out of 5 stars
origin on a great talent,
By Nigel Kirk (Canberra, Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Planet on the Table (Paperback)
As a great fan of KSR's later work, especially the Mars trilogy, it was enjoyable to go back to this early collection of stories. They are variable - Mercurial grates a little as a whodunit and Coming Back to Dixieland may be more of a hit with jazz aficionados. But Ridge Running is where KSR shows the harmony that outdoor recreation can create between people and nature, and the historical themed stories showed the empathy with time and place that KSR showcased in Galileo's Dream. The book gets five stars simply because the empathy, credibility and symbolism of The Lucky Strike set a benchmark for alternative history stories.
