One of our main interests is reading, in particular fantasy and science fiction, and we also like to share our opinions about the books we read. Hence this section, Reviews. We will primarily review books but also comics, media, music and maybe the occasional game. We are also planning to expand this section with more features, such as listings per author/creator and a few other things.
This series of linked stories following the trader and fledgling ecological engineer Haviland Tuf, set in the same universe as Dying of the Light and other stories by the author, is an amusing and decidedly thought-provoking tale. There’s the distinct flavor of Jack Vance, perhaps from his series of novels showing various human cultures in the Alastor culture, because of the many unique and strange cultures encountered in this book. But the focus truly is on Tuf, a huge bald albino both brilliant and eccentric, and the Old Earth seedship he stumbles across and wins control of. With this old technology in his hands, he is able to create all manner of life, tailored to do what he wishes it to do, whether it’s Tyrannosaurus Rex running loose to defend his vessel against intruders or strange plants that produce all manner of things.
