3.0 out of 5 stars
Not bad for a first effort,
By
This review is from: Waves (Mass Market Paperback)
I think this is probably one of Foster's first, if not the first novel. For that, he gets a sympathy vote, and for those of you exploring the history of a rather decent SciFi writer, it won't hurt to read this one.Bear in mind though that the characters are not as well-developed or enjoyable as those in later works. And the plot is so subtle, you may accidentally pass right over the climax. You can already see, though, Foster's view of the universe, whose denisons and inhabitants are so varied and strange that discovering who and what they are can be the basis for a unique and readable story. Look for this and other of Foster's books in used bookstores. They do show up ocassionally.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Very unusual story that grows on you on rereading,

Although this is not my absolute favorite M. A. Foster book, it is well worth reading. As with all his books, the characters are the focus, but the plot can hold your interest as well.
Now for some good news for Foster's devoted fans: his Morphodite trilogy and the Ler trilogy are back in print after a couple of decades! Check them out under his name near the top of this page. |
