5.0 out of 5 stars
A gem of a read,
By Vaughn Heppner (Turlock, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Raiders From the Rings (Vintage Pyramid F-933) (Mass Market Paperback)
I read this as a kid and loved it. It was my one of my two favorites. The other was Ben Bova's Star Conquerors. The asteroid miners and Martians raid Earth for supplies. Now Earth has sent a clumsy battle fleet to crush them. The asteroid miners have cool tanglers that web their enemies, and each side's spacecraft uses missiles instead of laser beams or photon torpedoes. This is an old gem. Read and enjoy.

Alan E Nourse Juvenile Sci Fi,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Raiders From the Rings (Vintage Pyramid F-933) (Mass Market Paperback)
I first read this epic little Cold War Era novel by Alan E Nourse in the early sixties, from the junior high library. In it, nuclear global annihilation is averted when the space forces of all the great powers refuse to take part, joining with one another instead. Their reward is exile, and the unending hatred of their homeworld. Over the next few hundred years, they have built their own unique culture, whose focal point is the Maukis, the Spacer women whose beautiful singing tells the story of lonliness and exile. The novel concerns the final war between Spacers and Earthborn, which will end in either reconciliation, or the total extermination of both halves of the human race. The favorite sci-fi novel of my youth, I had not seen a copy for over 4o years, when the well preserved vintage paperback arrived, and immediately took me back through the years. It was every bit as good as I had remembered!
