2.0 out of 5 stars
Pulp Fiction Novella based on the Finnish Kalevala,
By Judah (Terre Haute In USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Star Mill (Hardcover)
The amnesia hero's name is Ilmar, and he's found drifting on asteroid in deep space near a matter dissolving space-storm. He's picked up by a passing space-ship. His body gives off the same type of matter-eater radiation the storm does, and everybody on board but him dies. Earth's government quarantines him and sentences him to be sent into the sun to save humanity from being dissolved. That's part one.
In part two, Ilmar's real elf-alien-people rescue him and help remember his heroic past. He sets out a second time to confront the space-witch at the heart of the storm. That's it. Book is 128 pages total. Technology is simply wrong (this was written in 1966), and characterization is bad. Really bad. I recommend reading a translation of the Finnish "Kalevala, the Land of Heroes" as you'll enjoy it more. The author used direct quotes for probably half his dialogue. |
