Comments and Reviews


ppint. 13th Sep 2019		Rated 10/10 superb, technically "sub-burroughsian", "planet stories"-style science fiction adventure, and a gem of its kind, with the accent almost as heavily upon the powerfully exotic setting, as upon the adventure that pits a low-life chancer of a man, a would-be tomb-robber, against a veritable god - and against the saurian race that rules their thalassocracy(!) on mars of yore - and dominates all other races, including lowly humanity - upon the planet through their fawning worship and apparent obedience of him, and his kin, and studying his technological teachings, and wielding the powers they gain thereby without any shred of conscience, nor achilles heel of mercy - thousands of years before our would-be tomb-robber was born. . . - against such inhuman and uncaring, overbearing and unfeelingly cruel ovetlords, what chance does one, very far from heroic - let alone perfect - and utterly out of his depth chancer-on-the-run have ? 1 person found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
