The book started off as a decent SF adventure with scientists and mutants fighting on a generation starship; strongly reminded me of Metamorphosis Alpha. But the ending didn't leave much of an impression on me, and the regressive way that the women were written put me off. ( ) Dit is een van de oorspronkelijke "verloren generatie schip" verhalen, een novelle van twee eerdere korte verhalen van Heinlein. Oorspronkelijk in de jaren '40 geschreven blijft het verhaal toch boeien. De 'bemanning' van Schip heeft nooit iets anders gekend dan Schip, een gigantisch ruimteschip met meerdere dekken, dat voor hen hun hele universum is. Ze hebben geen notie van beweging of dat er iets buiten Schip is. Lang geleden hebben zij alle begrip van Schip's technologie en oorsprong verloren, ook al doen ze de dingen die nodig zijn om het systeem draaiende te houden. Het verhaal gaat over een jongeman, die bezig is om wetenschapper te worden, maar die gevangen genomen word door een groep 'mutties', afstammelingen van de muiters, geleid door een bijzonder intelligent tweehoofdige leider, in bezit van een bibliotheek met boeken die hij beter begrijpt dan de 'bemanning'. Hij toont Hugh de sterren en de echte natuur van Schip. Als Hugh terug keert om zijn mede-bemaningsleden hierover te vertellen, loopt het precies zo als je je kan voorstellen. Het loopt uit op muiterij en verraad. Intussen nadert Schip zijn bestemming. Wat mij betreft geen top SF verhaal, maar een middenmoter, waarbij wel bedacht moet worden dat dit een boek is dat in de '40-er jaren van de vorige eeuw is geschreven. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

HTML: Lost in Space Hugh had been taught that, according to the ancient sacred writings, the Ship was on a voyage to faraway Centaurus. But he also understood this was just allegory for a voyage to spiritual perfection. Indeed, how could the Ship move, since its miles and miles of metal corridors were all there was of creation? Science knew that the Ship was all the universe, and as long as the sacred Converter was fed, the lights would continue to glow, the air would flow, and the Creator's Plan would be fulfilled. Of course, there were the muties, grotesquely deformed parodies of humans, who lurked in the upper reaches of the Ship, where gravity was weaker. Were they evil incarnate, or merely a divine check on the population, keeping humanity from expanding past the capacity of the Ship to support? Then Hugh was captured by the muties and met their leader (or leaders)â??Joe-Jim, with two heads on one bodyâ??and learned the true nature of the Ship and its mission between the stars. But could he make his people believe him before it was too late? Could he make them believe that he must be allowed to fly the Ship Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
