| Omschrijving | Essef - More a series of novellas; bit like 'Stand on Zanzibar'. Each chapter ("Part" in the contents) covers a period in the planet's history. There is always a main protagonist who is young; there are two groups of investigators - seamen, astronomers, rocketry scientists - all adults but at odds over a procedure or technique or idea. Through the efforts of the young person, the situation is resolved and the race makes progress.
In this way we learn of the cosmic danger faced by their world, of their ice age, of their discovery of radio-activity, of their space program. After a short while, the world becomes the main character and its fate provides the tension. |
