Welcome to Litsy!

I have been reading the Hainish Series on and off for years. I rather enjoyed the second instalment. I‘m looking forward to part three.

Another great story, the 2nd in the Hainish novels; I won't call it the Hainish cycle since Ursula K Le Guin herself said “The thing is, they aren't a cycle or a saga. They do not form a coherent history.“
Unlike the first novel, this happens on Werel and the 2 main groups are Tevarans, a tribe of humanoid extraterrestrial indigenous to the planet, the other being humans from a dwindling colony of Earth. Another pick!

On a world where the farborns were abandoned some eight years before, and each year lasts roughly the lifespan of a man, the farborn leader reaches out to the nearest native leader to combine forces against a raiding horde. Old prejudices don't die easily, and they were in for a long winter. I love this author's imagination!

Dear library free pile: I find a discard stamp so close to Ursula Leguin's signature downright offensive! Your loss is my gain, but my goodness! 😳

Another old #sff find! An Ace Double with LeGuin on one side and Disch in the other! Don Wollheim (founder of DAW) worked on these while at Ace! #scifi #aceroc #dawbooks #history
