I loved the original Solar Queen stories, but this is a late continuation officially by Norton in collaboration by Norton and a younger writer, Sherwood Smith. From what Marion Zimmer Bradley said of a similar collaboration, I suspect the younger writer did all or most of the writing. This is the second nvel; in the continuation an involves Dane Thorston, who joined the Solar Queen in the last novel, with the ship North Star. they go to a mining planet where former North Star crew members are being killed by a strange electro-magnetic force. A decent continuation to the Solar Queen series. I don't think I've read Derelict for Trade (the immediate predecessor to this one), which left me groping a bit - but not much, the setup from the previous book was pretty clear. The interesting thing in this one was the way the viewpoint moved around - as I recall, Norton's Solar Queen novels were entirely (or at least mostly) from Dane's POV, while this one was from Dane, Ali, Rip...lots of people. All from Solar Queen people though - we never saw the crew from the outside. The puzzle is interesting, the solution is fascinating...though the deus ex machina to deal with the tool used to reach the solution seemed a bit much. I'd have been more interested if they'd just learned how to deal with it - shut it off unless needed. Or perhaps some trauma removed it (which it did, kind of). But "Problem over, OK, don't need that any more, let it fade"...that was just a little too much authorial meddling. Still, interesting story, good writing, characters true to (what I remember of) the original characterization - I'm looking for the next (and the previous!) one in this series. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

The Solar Queen and its new sister ship, North Star, have embarked on a mission to a planet rich in lucrative ore. Armed with their experience on the galactic rim, the independent traders descend to the surface to discover a bizarre set of dangers. A strange electromagnetic force is killing miners stranded from the former crew of the North Star. Weather is terrible, with enormous disturbances throughout the atmosphere of the entire planet. Dane Thorson and the rest of the embattled crew use all of their traders' ingenuity to untangle the mystery of Hesprid IV's deadly lifeforms. Finally, they take a desperate gamble to communicate with the planet's creatures - their last chance to survive the planet's many perils. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

This is the last of the Solar Queen stories and they bow out on a fairly strong note ( )
