The Final Frontier

[Composed 6/27/2007--Ed]



I've not a read a straight science-fiction novel in a long time. I had picked up Chindi in hardcover on the sale rack at Barnes & Noble and it has been sitting on my shelf for a while [Part of the back catalog that Eliel was supposed to read before buying any new books. That didn't work out so well...--Ed].

I had forgotten how compelling and how much fun a well-plotted and conceptualized Science Fiction work could be. The last work of science fiction I read was a grim piece of work written by Stephen Donaldson. It was more a study in perverse human psychology then a work that let itself fall into the place of wonder where we humans think about what the day after the day after tomorrow will look like.

I will have to write more on this when I've given myself some time to let the story sink in, but in general, I can highly recommend this one.
