Star Well: : A small airless planetoid set deep in the heart of the Flammarion Rift. Due to its location, it is a minor hub of commerce within the Sashuite Empire, and though it is equipped with elegant dining rooms and casinos, luxury suites and expensive shops, Wu and Fabricant’s GUIDEBOOK claims that Star Well is a dull place to visit and that travellers should avoid layovers if they can. But Wu and Fabricant had not been shown the secret basements, nor told the nature of the things stored there–if they had been, they might still have advised against layovers, but not because Star Well was dull. When our hero Anthony Villiers and his Traggish friend Torve arrive on the scene, it soon becomes evident that the truth must out: that Star Well has reached the end of an era…(thurb).

Rite of Passage

July 20th, 2010 | Author: awefxuba

It doesn’t pass Trial – Adman – Athens, Greece
Rite Of Passage is the story of a young girl in a future spaceship getting ready for “Trial”, which is something of a space Bar Mitzvah, albeit manyfold dangerous. There are some interesting points in the novel: a fast pace, a refreshing first person POV, along with some poignant fables the heroes come up with. There is also a nod (but just a nod) to philosophy. However, what really spoils this book is the Trial itself. Suddenly, it seems like Mr. Panshin passed his writing torch to Harry Harrison to create 30 or 40 DeathWorld like pages. And while Harrison’s characters justify suspension of disbelief, Panshin’s 14 year olds going around, blowing up army bases in a totalitarian society is unbelievable as well as unacceptable. 1968 crop must have been pretty poor for this to win the Nebula.
Rite of Passage: : After the destruction of Earth, humanity has established itself precariously among a hundred planets. Between them roam the vast Ships, doling out scientific knowledge in exchange for raw materials. On one of the Ships lives Mia Havero. Belligerent soccer player, intrepid explorer of ventilation shafts, Mia tests all the boundaries of her insulated world. She will soon be tested in turn. At the age of fourteen all Ship children must endure a month unaided in the wilds of a colony world, and although Mia has learned much through formal study, about philosophy, economics, and the business of survival, she will find that her most vital lessons are the ones she must teach herself. Published originally in 1968, Alexei Panshin’s Nebula Award-winning classic has lost none of its relevance, with its keen exploration of societal stagnation and the resilience of youth. – read more.
