Description
"The human race had divided into two species. One had created the other-- normal humans had experimented in forced evolution and had produced the ler, a sort of superman race, but pacifistic and contemplative. The ler fled from the turbulent worlds of homo sapiens and established their own quiet planetary colonies. Which made it all the more inexplicable when reports came in of fierce planetary marauders, looting and burning, who were of ler ancestry. The existence of barbarian lers was a show more contradiction in terms. And the search for their reasons for existence was to take a human male and a ler female into an expedition into strange worlds and the unsuspected bypasses of all the systems of science and philosophy." --Back cover. show lessTags

Special for readers of Jack Vance.
Romanzo che risente un po' dei suoi 40 anni ma che resta cmq una storia molto piacevole, avvincente, movimentata, interessante, originale e ricca. Non ci si annoia mai e l'autore offre anche diversi spunti interessanti per riflessioni varie. Veramente un buon romanzo, consigliato.

- First words
- In the early history of one particular planet, Seabright, human colonists came and broke the ground for a new world's development, and built a port town of tarpaper shacks, warehouses, dumps and shabby repair depots.
- Last words
- (Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.)Outside, in the dampness of the night air and deep in the sounds of raindrip and surf, Han and Usteyin turned and walked up to the path to the gate, and from there, back over the stone bridge, back to their room, through the wet streets alone, silent, deep in thoughts, occasionally touching one another as they walked.
