More hope that Dumarest will get home to earth. It is like a carrot on a stick for the donkey. However, the journey is still gripping enough. Some books better than others which feel like filler. This one was good. I read that Tubb wanted to take all thirty books and condense them into ten cutting out a lot of repetition. That could have been used as a template for a movie series. He died in 2010 before he could do it.
