It is difficult to imagine that this book was written in 1971 but like all excellent science fiction there is a timeless quality about the fictionalised science which only acts as backdrop to the drama taking place between the characters.

The casual rascism, not only of the characters but also the narrative voice, is really off putting.

rascist twaddle

I stumbled across an article of many authors who had passed due to covid, and instantly noticed Ben Bova. As a teenager, I devoured books. They were little glimpses of wonderful or terrible things that the future will hold. Ben Bova was a favourite, and in the mid 90’s I had a fair collection of his works. I remembered the “Exiles” trilogy being especially interesting, as it spanned a story of three distinct parts over many centuries. Unfortunately, revisiting these 25-30 years later has shown me how dated the views of the characters in the books have become and they are painful to read/listen to now. The core story is still interesting but sadly, I no longer consider it something I would recommend.

Hasn’t aged well unfortunately.
