Hope to see argus a reality in my lifetime. As usual, the author shows great imagination and insight into how the future might shape up. Hope yet for our closed and bigoted world. A generally exciting (though not exactly fast-paced) story.
There is a fascinating storyline here. Karl helmer emerges as an unforgettable character. The story has all the elements that make it a very good read and there is no place where the plot slows.
Arthur c. Imperial earth is definitely a novel worthy of the name. Errol l. Banta i. Is a fine example of an imperial novel.
Cons
Imperial earth seems like a book written to fulfill a contractual obligation. Just not a well-executed effort.
