Editorial Reviews

The mood in this volume is considerably more somber, a current that runs through all four books, intermixed with the often raucous humor. There is the usual entertaining variety of characters, both human and alien, and a simple but entertaining plot.

What happens in that final shootout? Who wins? I won't say. The result again expresses Mike's jaundiced view of macho games, but it also validates the Dancer's life and dreams, and tells the rest of us how wrong it is to seek a life without risk.
