Seed Seeker

Seed #3

by Pamela Sargent

An adventure in colonization and conflict from acclaimed SF writer Pamela SargentSeveral hundred years ago, Ship, a sentient starship, settled humans on the planet Home before leaving to colonize other worlds, promising to return one day. Over time, the colony on Home divided into those who live in the original domed buildings of the colony, who maintain the library and technology of Ship, and those who live by the river, farming and hunting to survive. The Dome Dwellers consider themselves the protectors of "true humanity" and the River People "contaminated," and the two sides interact solely through ritualized food and goods from the River People in exchange for repairs and recharges by the Dome Dwellers.Then a new light appears in the night sky. The River People believe it might be Ship, keeping its promise to return, but the Dome Dwellers, who have a radio to communicate with Ship, are silent. So Bian, a seventeen-year-old girl from a small village, travels upriver to learn what they know. As she travels through the colony of Home, gaining companions and gathering news, Bian ponders why the Dome Dwellers have said nothing. Has Ship commanded them to be silent, in preparation for some judgment on the River People? Or are the Dome Dwellers lying to Ship, turning Ship against their rivals?Whatever the answer, life is about to change radically on both sides of the divide.At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

I completed the Earthseed trilogy and found all three books quite intriguing. I was really impressed with the author's creativity and imagination, and I'm not just saying that because the author is my Aunt Pam! These books address a really interesting question: if humans were to leave Earth, would the worlds we create be any better, or would we still fight wars and find ourselves in endless power struggles? I'm not sure I agree with the answer these books suggest, but how the story ends seems plausible. Whereas most trilogies I've read track the same set of characters, this trilogy tracks 3 generations. Though I felt like I didn't get to know the characters as well, it's interesting how different the values of the characters in Earthseed are from those in Farseed and especially Seed Seeker. Farseed was my favorite of the 3 books because of Nuy, one of the coolest female characters I've read about in a long time. I recommend these books to anyone who's interested in reading a more cerebral science fiction trilogy than Hunger Games. These books make you think a bit more!

A few generations ago, the sentient Ship found the planet Home, and seeded a human colony there. Ship promised to return one day to check up on their progress after it finds more planets to colonize.

Now Ship has returned to Home, and the people there aren't sure they want it to come back.

There are two different groups of people living on Home, as represented by their PoV narrators. There are the 'dome dwellers' who remain at the initial settlement and live off the technology and supplies that Ship provided when they first arrived. Safrah is one of the four young adults who still live there, helping to raise the children grown from the mechanical wombs; all older adults have died. They consider themselves 'true humans' because they haven't integrated with the alien biology of the planet. However, the majority of the population moved away from the first settlement, and now live along the river, including the young woman Bian. Unlike the dome dwellers who live among deteriorating technology, the agrarian river people are thriving and growing.

The characters, particularly the main PoV characters are an interesting assortment of people, with their problems, wants, and fears. The switches between PoV was smooth and easy to follow. The cultures of the dome dwellers and the outsiders was sparsely drawn, but was well enough done to not overwhelm a YA audience with too much information.

On first glimpse the concept of SEED SEEKER is really interesting. And the first quarter of the book sets up the story nicely. But then niggling problems became apparent, and by three-quarters of the way through they became full-blown annoyances.

A good portion of important information that affects character choices and behavior isn't given sufficient foreshadowing; it's not explained until we're in-the-moment, which makes the resolutions feel contrived. For example, the dome dwelling children are too afraid ever go outside. However, near the end of the novel we learn that one of them has been sneaking out on increasing forays for the past several months...which conveniently helps the river people gain entrance to the domes they would otherwise be lost in.

The prose could have been more fluid, and as a result it slowed the pace, making the book almost tedious to read. The dialogue was particularly awkward, mostly because the characters provide information that was hard for me to believe real people would share. The creative naming convention, especially when referring to people who don't have a direct bearing on the plot, cluttered the narrative unnecessarily.

The most important of these problems is the eventual realization of the contrived plot. Bian and Safrah spend the entire novel afraid. Afraid of their own lives. Afraid of the other community's culture. Afraid of Ship's potential 'judgement' on the colony. Afraid of what's going to happen. Fortunately they stumble forward in their lives despite this fear—even if it's not clear why they're afraid of everything around them. It got overbearing at times, because their fear and fear-based actions were important to the plot's forward momentum...which meant the momentum was slow and stilted.

Despite the interesting premise, the execution lacked any real strength. YA readers who really enjoy science fiction may likely enjoy this book for the themes of colonization, quasi-religious judgement, technology vs pastoral, opposing cultures, and a sort of "first contact" with Ship. However, others with a passing interest in Sci Fi may find it dull.

Recommended Age: 12+
Language: None
Violence: Brief scene near the end, and not particularly graphic.
Sex: Several of the characters have romantic intentions which lead to marriage, including one same-sex couple who must overcome cultural obstacles.

SEED SEEKER is the final installment of the Seed Trilogy, after EARTHSEED (1983) and FARSEED (2007). However, it's easily readable as a standalone.

I didn't realize that this was the third in a trilogy until I was almost done with it. And to the story's credit, I don't know that I ever would have known had I not gotten curious about the author and gone looking for more information. Since the trilogy is a generational saga, Seed Seeker stands well on its own.

I may go back and read the other two novels as prequels, but not right away. I enjoyed Seed Seeker, but it's not what I was hoping for from it's description of a young woman travelling upriver, looking for answers from a mysterious and closed off civilization. I was looking for a riff on Heart of Darkness, but Seed Seeker is interested in other things. That's not the book's fault, but I'm still adjusting. If it stays with me for a while, I'll want to check out the first two.

I quite liked the theological questions Seed Seeker raises with its metaphor of a colonizing spaceship as God. And I liked its answers just as much. It's a compelling read, because I wondered right alongside the characters what Ship was up to and how it would judge the colonists it left behind. And I wondered what that would reveal about Sargent's worldview. That was all pretty great, but I never fell in love with any of the characters and that's the reason I give the book three stars.

Seed Seeker by Pamela Sargent

Seed Seeker is Pamela Sargent's third book in the Seed Series.The first two set the tone for the series and this one follows through with the same tone capping off the series that is more character driven than innovative.

In the first book the Ship which is both a generation ship and sentient AI, has raised generations of humans with the goal to deliver them to their new home where she would seed the new world. She was doing so in the belief that she was completing the work of some of the finest minds Earth had to offer. Saving mankind by preparing the generations to survive on a potential new and wild world.[The sentience of the ship seems to be minimized throughout the series though the main thread of the moral dilemma is tied to its sentience.]

The story starts with a generation that has some conflicts amongst its members and as they come close to reaching their destination they discover that the ship has had a previous generation in suspension because the first world she stopped at was not suitable. The waking of that generation causes more conflict and sets the stage for strife in the near future when they are all dropped upon the new world. At the same time Ship discovers that the original group that set her on her mission may have been the missfits of Earth rather than the great minds she'd been programed to believe.

In the second book the colony of three disparate groups attempt to survive while ship goes on with her mission to create more generations and continue to seed the universe. The story begins with a few of the original colonist still arround, but centers on the next generation. A generation that might contain some who have some dramatic adaptations to the new world. This sets the stage for the division of those who are affected and those that are not. And the isolation of the ones who believe they are the future of pure man on the new world.

This third book takes up from there in the next generation and also at a time when the generation Ship has been having some doubts about her purpose and some regrets about leaving the first generations on the new planet. As the story opens there is a new light in the sky above the new world and this sets off a pilgrimage to the original settlement to find out if the light might be Ship. There are mixed feelings about the potential arrival of ship because those who have been changed by something on this new planet are fearful that the Ship may reject them as being less than adequate[less than human].

Once again Pamela Sargent creates some interesting and credible characters that come to life in a world of strife, conflict, and misunderstanding. And the leading question in the readers mind might be; how will ship react to this world of savages and how could they possibly fit into her programmed plan.

This is a great Generation Ship series that is both for Young Adults and SFF fans.

I am reviewing a copy provided by the publisher.


Bian has never been beyond the fields of her village. The River People have had little need to travel north to visit the Dome Dwellers. They do not want for food or clothing, only the strange technology of their ancestors brings them upriver to trade with the people they became separated from so long ago. Fuel cells can’t replenish themselves, after all. Neither can the colonists, the Dome Dwellers—the survivors who maintain their righteous link to the first colonists of Home and refuse to leave the long-standing habitats and claim the world as their own.

They have not done well sustaining the animals and crops left for them. Even the children run wild and unbridled around the compound, driven by an unnamed fear of the River People and of the wide unknown beyond the fabricated structures surrounding them. But a strange light on the horizon is about the change how these two groups view each other, how they feel about their failures and accomplishments, and how they choose to go forward with their lives. Like a legend or fairy tale, everyone is familiar with the story of Ship, the large flying machine that brought the first settlers to Home, and its promise to return one day and show its children they have not been forgotten. Ship, as Bian as surmised, has come back.

Seed Seeker is the final installment in a trilogy Pamela Sargent began with Earthseed in 1983. Before I go further, and since it was a concern of my own, this is a book that can be read alone, without the previous two (Earthseed and Farseed). It does not have to be read in chronological order. I was assured of this because like anyone stepping blind into a new series, knowing where to start is often a difficult decision. After finishing the book, I think I agree, with one hesitation. There were some moments that beg for further exploration, but have little bearing on knowledge of the previous two books—as far as I can tell, at least. Simply put: the book was too short and certain characters just did not get enough attention.

But before I go into that, there were any number of things to enjoy about this book. The writing, for one, was incredibly engaging. Not having read Sargent before, I did not have any expectations and this, I think, was good. It means I was that much more impressed with how quietly driven this book is. The POV switches between Bian and Safrah so both sides are equally represented. I especially love how the journey takes them out of their comfort zones, much like Frodo Baggins or Luke Skywalker finally stepping beyond home for the first time in a grand adventure.

There may be an abundance of technology on Home—whether it functions correctly, if at all, is a different story—but the technology by itself isn’t important. How the River People and Dome Dwellers react to it (and in return, to each other) is the undercurrent moving this novel to its ultimate conclusion. This is a book about fear. About fear and change and how those two go hand in hand, but also why one can be the catalyst for the other.

Like other “first contact” stories, Seed Seeker organized the friend versus foe mentality that often motivates strangers to realize the only way out of any situation is Death To The Invaders. We don’t ever want to be friendly; we can’t ever be sure the Other Side means well, nor can we convince them we do, and so we take the most brutal route (the easiest to convey): violence. In this case, the division between the River People (pastoral and agrarian) and the Dome Dwellers (tech-dependent) happened long ago, in another book perhaps. Is it really important to know why they are separated? No, but the names they give each other speak for themselves. Half of the original colony wanted to explore and expand the unknown of their new home. The other half felt compelled to listen to their bigoted leaders and stay where they could control everything, where their machines could regulate food, temperature, and maintain a digital library of the past. These were the folks who just couldn’t let things go.

The marvelous thing about Ship is how it eventually changes this dynamic of what began as a slowly brewing war of resentment and suspicion. The River People think the Dome Dwellers, with their radio, have made contact with Ship but refuse to share that information; the Dome Dwellers think Ship has abandoned them for their failures and chosen to speak only to the River People. Neither of these two sides ever just communicate with each other.

The moment Ship as a Possibility changes into Ship as a Reality, people can and do act, but in surprisingly heroic ways. In addition to how fluidly Sargent executes this chain of events, she also considers issues of progression and tradition, turning expectations completely around to examine which half of the colony lies on either side of that divide.Thematically, I was very impressed with Seed Seeker.

There are, of course, a few nasty characters, several sweet ones, and a variety of others to stir things up . Suspicion, love, jealousy, bitterness—these young adults are human to the core and experience the emotions to prove it. While I could see where Sargent may excel at creating the perfect environment for relatable characters to grow vividly around and against each other, I found myself unable to really develop a strong connection to any one of them. Their individuals troubles felt too distant, especially Arnagh (who, let’s face it: was not given the best of names) and Lusa (the victim of unrequited love). We find them both in mourning. Their rejections have already happened. What readers get are the after effects which, while sad, are difficult to fully appreciate. I can’t fathom what Lusa finds so attractive about Enli, other than him being a musician; he’s distant and grumpy, not to mention flighty. Lusa could do much better. I wish my heart went out to them, and to a certain extent it does. But only on the surface, as a sympathetic ear rather than out of any real investment in their heartbreak.

This is where I feel a divergence between Seed Seeker as a stand alone versus as the third in a trilogy. Even though it appears none of these characters were featured in Farseed (the second of the trilogy), and that a significant amount of time has passed in world between the two, something still felt off. Something still felt missing. The conflict between Morwen and Terris felt especially hollow. These children deal with the repercussions of something unseen and harbor deep resentments, but are already seething and villainous. Maybe Safrah didn’t raise them well. Maybe they had other poisonous influences. Maybe the story will feel more well-rounded after reading the first two, maybe it won’t. I do intend to find out.

[Kirk Johnson · Rating 3 out of 5]

Though I found this in the adult section of the library, it reads in large part like a Young Adult novel, especially its romances. I don't forgive this. I give credit for the first half, which did have some interesting ideas, and for the short denouement, which had potential to be the best part of the book and probably should have been the longest but was instead dashed through as if the writer had run out of time or patience or paper. But the middle section is nothing but a lethargic action sequence with lengthy pauses for characters to give each other warmed over summaries of what has been described before. In sum, exasperating but not a complete waste of time.

[TammyJo Eckhart · Rating 3 out of 5]

While the first book in the trilogy intrigued me, I was disappointed in the second because it felt more simple because the characters less complex. This time the characters were a bit more well-rounded but still not up to the first book. The biggest problem was the unanswered questions, big uncleared issues about what happened in the generations since book two. I kept waiting for the answers, because given this was the end of the series, there needed to be final answers. Perhaps Sargent didn't know the series would end here, and if so, that's makes the way this book ends understandable, but not satisfying.

[Aamundson · Rating 5 out of 5]

I will admit that I have a weak spot for book centering on 'main character takes a journey while discovering themselves'. These books both give me interesting scenery and interesting charecter development. Seed Seeker doesn't disappoint in this regard. An entertaining read. Refreshingly short and with no long boring sections. 5 Stars.

NOTE: I have not actually read books 1 & 2. I might try to find them at a library sometime, but clearly they weren't needed to enjoy this book.

[Norah · Rating 4 out of 5]

I read this aloud to my son because the first book in this trilogy (Earthseed) was such a powerful read when I was a middle school kid that it stuck with me into adulthood. It explores the lives of human colonists on a distant alien planet, so cutoff from Earth that they have no way of contacting Earth. But there's an even more profound divide: none of these colonists have a direct link to any culture on Earth. The people who built the spaceship that brought them here didn't come along. They just donated sperm and eggs, and so the first generation grew up on the spaceship and was raised by the AI ship. By the time we get to this novel, we're several generations into a colony of people who only know about Earth culture when they read about it in their library, or view videos or listen to audio files. And many of them don't spend much time in the library. Their society wasn't founded on a religious or political creed, or even on a specific moral creed, justice system, or mandated government. It's really an experiment. Human society starting over. A fascinating book to read to my kid and talk about. Do we agree with this characters' actions or point of view? What would you do? What kind of society would I want to create?

I was an adult when the author returned to this story and wrote this second book, and this final one, so I have a different relationship to Seed Seeker than I do to Earthseed. I also don't think it's as strong a book--there are a lot of pacing issues, and Sargent would have benefited from an editor who encouraged her to drastically condense the middle section and expand the ending. But like the rest of the trilogy, and other Pamela Sargent books I've read, Seed Seeker does an excellent job at exploring human nature, ethics, and philosophy through science fiction. Ultimately I think this book stands out for its concepts and ideas, not for its execution. But the prose is good, the characterization solid, and it was an enjoyable read. And, as I said before, a real conversation starter, which is important to me when I'm looking for a book to read aloud. My son could read this book on his own, but still likes to read together, and I will hold onto these experiences as long as I can. It's not just about the bonding and togetherness and holding onto childhood, it's also about passing on a love of reading, storytelling, even learning itself.

We are back at Home, the planet Ship seeded. A moving light in the sky remind everyone about Ship’s promise to return. The River People lives simple agrarian lives close to the alien nature that changed them forever. The Dome Dwellers, the ‘true humans’ are dwindling and only a few mature kids and an unruly group of kids remains. They all share the legends about Ship.

But they also share mistrust for the other. The light sets off a series of events that fuels their mistrust and violence threatens.

The Seventeen-year-old Bian provides the POV of the River People while Safrah provides the same for the Dome Dwellers. The story is more about the travel than the objective though.

It is interesting to learn the world as the characters do. None of the main characters have ever been outside their home town. The characters they meet are in general interesting and there is a progress of love affairs, quarrels, misunderstandings and new experiences.

The characters are easy to relate to but I would have liked to see a bit more character development and background. Especially the unruly kids of the Dome Dwellers are a bit sketchy. This lowered my enjoyment some.

Seed Seeker is a good conclusion to the Seed Trilogy and can be read alone and Pamela Sargent leaves the door open for another book in the end.

[Dena Landon · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good YA scifi is hard to find, and having heard good buzz about Seed Seeker I was pleased when a friend gave me a copy. I wasn't disappointed. The story is told from the points of view of two main characters, Safrah and Bian. They both live on a planet called Home, but Safrah lives with a group who claim to be 'true humanity' in domes and surrounded by technology left by the Ship that brought them to the planet, and Bian lives with the River People out on the planet.
When a light appears in the sky, and people start talking about an old promise that Ship would return, both girls worlds start to change. Bian, who is shy and has never strayed far from home, volunteers to travel to see if the Dome Dwellers have had contact with Ship. Safrah is confronted with sabotage within the Dome and the fear that they will be judged for disappointing Ship. The arrival of Ship will leave both girls forever changed.
It was particularly fascinating to read the two girls fears of the other group of people. I thought Sargent did a great job illustrating how they each had misconceptions of the other, and how it could lead to conflict and misunderstandings. Based on the title, and the titles of her other works, this could be a sequel or part of a series, but I read it as a stand alone and enjoyed it.

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away the inhabitants of a planet called Earth built a sentient starship to carry their progeny to the stars. Ship’s purpose was to find inhabitable planets and seed them with humans in order to ensure the survival of the species. Ship did indeed find a suitable planet. It deposited a colony of humans on a planet they named Home and carried on with its mission, promising to return one day to check on the colony’s progress. And so several hundred years, and many generations, passed.

On the planet Home, the humans soon split into two groups. The first group stayed inside the habitat dome, remaining cut off from all outside influences, so that humanity would remain in its original “pure” condition. The second group moved out of the dome, breathing the native air, eating the native food, drinking the native water, becoming one with their new home. Over the years, the two groups butted heads on more than one occasion and even came to the brink of all out war at least once. It seems that people just can’t get along, no matter what planet they live on.

I received this book free via a Goodread's contest.

Seed Seeker, the third volume in the Seed Trilogy, compares poorly with the first volume, Earthseed.

My main complaint about this book is that the story is told from two points of view and both of these are from girls that are always scared. That gives the book a monotonic feel as well as an underlying sense of passivity. I also found the strong underlying religious tone of the book cloying.

Since I'm definitely not in the demographic focus for this book ---I'd guess that's it is oriented towards readers in the 8-14 range and more towards girls than boys--- my objections might be more because the book is not directed towards me.

It was interesting to see how the end of this book curved back to the first book. The circularity did give a nice sense of completion to the 3-volume series.

[John · Rating 1 out of 5]

Descendants of colonists left to settle another world discover that their seeding AI starship has returned to check them out.

I was definitely the wrong reader for this, since I don't have much tolerance for being told rather than shown back story and significant developments, for low-key characters who all sound the same when they talk, and for a slow moving and entirely predictable plot. Sargent does something else that killed this for me: she divides her narrative into chapters and numerous subsections that nearly all end with inaction or the end of an incident or a completed thought. The effect is to set up a monotonous rhythm to the storytelling, leaving me uninvolved in the characters or events, and uninterested in finding out what happens next.

I really enjoyed this book. The characters were believable and the contrast between the two groups of people in the book was very realistic. I liked how both groups were portrayed and it felt like this was almost a real life story. Both groups distrusted but how the one tried to hide from the other was very much like real life. I am looking forward to reading more by this author.
