Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly
In a break from his heavy-going Childe series, Dickson offers a lighter and brisker-than-usual adventure. The hero is another military superman, but here starship fighter pilot Jim Wander is manipulated by scientist Mary Gallegher into a mental symbiosis with his beloved ship. Their mission is to gather information about the mysterious aliens, the Laagi, who have been locked in battle with Earth for 200 years. In typically didactic Dickson fashion, the two disembodied human minds learn as much about themselves and each other as they do about the Laagi. Various implausibilities and an overworked serendipity aside, the tantalizing exploration of alien cultures moves this adventure forward rapidly as the protagonists keep readjusting and expanding their ideas to meet new, challenging situations.

5.0 out of 5 stars Five Stars: He brings you to the stars. , July 19, 2005
By sabadash (City of the Angles, Port of LA, CA USA) - See all my reviews
Poets use the stars as exemplars of eternal beauty and guidance.

Dickson shows us one way to understand this. The hero *becomes* his space fighter and (accompanied by a psychologist/sociologist) travels through contested space to find beings of pure thought (or energy). In the end, using his new knowledge of himself, his companion and the various creations he meets, our hero finds a way to end war and allow the world (the Earth, Terra) to continue growing and expanding, as the hero and heroine do walking off into the ... sunset together. Great, classic piece.
