it was like moby dick

[Sergio · Rating 3 out of 5]

Un bel romanzo di fantascienza abilmente costruito su teorie possibiliste di piacevole e scorrevole lettura

[Lee Russell · Rating 3 out of 5]

I had read this around 1982 and it stayed lodged in my imagination ever since — but would it be as good now? The answer was “yes and no”. The story revolves around an unexpected environmental reaction to a Cold War secret project called 'Windowpane' - it does still echo with some of the Cold War sentiments that I remembered. Yet, it is also diminished by the prominent homophobic sentiments of ‘Chief Petty Officer Mason’. It is a quick read (218 pages) and yet somehow Page seems to miss the mark - it was neither deep enough on the science elements nor thrilling enough in the chase sequences to keep a strong hold on my interest.

Banale storia classica da Urania di fascia scadente.
