The Klan is basically a peaceful organization, practising military drills and chastising dishonest officeholders until they resign and are replaced by the more fitting Southern whites. When this is accomplished in 1870, the Klan disbands.
Some people will find this more believable than others. I'm one of the others.
They are separated by a force field, but are expected to fight to the death, with the loser's entire race to be annihilated.
An absorbing story, with a truly strange alien.
The writing is very good. I'm not sure the ending was worth it.
Following that story is a short piece of a child's recollection of a murder and the execution of the murderer. It's quite strong.
That being said, the story was well-done and held my interest until the end. With considerable half-convincing occult mumbo-jumbo, a westerner learns the secrets of astral projection, neatly circumventing the old space travel problem. He eventually learns to relocate to the planet Palos orbiting Sirius.
The aliens are mirrors of humans, so much so that he falls in love. And that's where this book ends. Don't download this book, get the longer version.
Two years of disease, starvation, bombing and fighting follow. The story is told by a 13 year old girl/woman who comes to find a way out. All the characters are well-done and complex, especially Valentine, her mother, her little brother, the wizard and the old soldier. The plotting is tight and relentless, and the descriptions and writing is first-rate.
Highly recommended.
She pilots a hired ship with a surly crew out looking for the title jewels--the most beautiful and rarest blah, blah, blah. The jewels are an afterthought, everyone is really concerned with screwing over everyone else.
Entertaining, with two or three good characters, and a half-dozen sci-fi stock characters.
There are copious explanatory and scriptural footnotes; read this version rather than the unannotated one.
The writing is not so dry as the summary; it actually held my interest. There's a little mystery, some ex-spouse friction, double-dealing on both sides, and a war of liberation. Yes, the doctor is pure and idealistic, and the ex-wife is oddly amorphous in her loyalties and loves. Parts could be better, but I don't regret the time I spent reading it.
