Wonderful, Imaginative Science Fiction Book for Adults
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
A novel of the future where human beings encounter a race that outmatches mankind in every way. Has one of the most imaginative plots of any science fiction book that I have ever read. I have read hundreds of science fiction books and this is among my favorite top five. A wonderful, imaginative science fiction book for adults and also for older teenagers.
Sci Fi adventure of man's near future.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This is a short novel about man's near future when we encounter the "Galactic Empire" we are a lost colony of. More fantasy adventure than sci fi, this is a quick read and would be good for the reader looking for a break from Star Trek/Star Wars novels.
I loved this book, I want a Wolfling of my own!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 28 years ago
Ever imagined a situation where you were outmatched in every way? The perfect race has come along and Earth needs to form a good relationship with its new neighbors. The problem is that they are so superior to Humans that we aren't taken seriously - we are so primative that we are thought of as little wild creatures --wolflings. But we have some natural racial protection in our genepool for this kind of event - the Wolfing, who becomes our ambassador. He will learn to survive and maybe save the rest of us. The story is an excellent adaptation of the common sci-fi theme but with aliens that don't just think they are better than humans but can prove it to us. L.Ron Hubbard did the same theme in his multi-thousand page story, Dickson does it quite satisfyingly in less than 350 pages
