He could see from above that this planet was inhabited. He emerged from the ship - to find himself lassoed and captured by a beautiful redhead mounted on a strange, bird-like creature. That was the first shock; the second was to realise that this world of women looked on him as a monster. For while the women of Atlantis had waited for the coming of the Men, they were certain that this creature who had landed on their planet could not possibly be a man.

Everyone is female!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Virgin Planet (Paperback)
Wouldn't you want to land on a planet where everyone is female? Well, that is what our hero gets to do. He has plenty of problems once he gets there though. Apparently a colony ship with an all-female complement went off course and landed on an uncharted planet. (A feature of this line of Anderson stories is the "trepidation vortex" which can do just that.) The ship's doctor developed a method of cloning the women thus creating a population of identical copies from maybe 50 individuals. The hero doesn't get the girl, at least not during the story, but he has plenty of adventures with an identical pair of fiery (in both hair and spirit) gorgeous redheads. (Anderson loves redheads!) Note that in decisions that must be made involving genetically identical individuals, the roll of the dice is sacred.

Anderson represents the old Amazon's myth and builds a classical fantasy novel,with battles,blood and angry women.Good reading,but not necessary
