Nice blast of 50s sci fi. Easy to read.. took a few days on and off. It is refreshing to read a book when the main character is not such a great guy! Interesting slant on a corporate run future, with famous company names seeming to have royal or noble status. Its a messed up future here.
SKILLS: none. MERITS: none.
RECOMMENDATIONS: none.
That is the official verdict on Gully Foyle, unskilled space crewman. But Gully has managed to survive for 170 days in the airless purgatory of deep space after the wreck of his ship, and has escaped to Earth carrying a murderous grudge and a secret that could change the course of history.
