Humanity pushed its way to the stars—and encountered the Gbaba, a ruthless alien race that nearly wiped us out. Earth and her colonies are now smoldering ruins, and the few survivors have fled to distant, Earth-like Safehold, to try to rebuild. But the Gbaba can detect the emissions of an industrial civilization, so the human rulers of Safehold have taken extraordinary measures: with mind control and hidden high technology, they've built a religion in which every Safeholdian believes, a religion designed to keep Safehold society medieval forever.

A dated classic Made better
Revisado: 12-05-11
If you could sum up The Skylark of Space in three words, what would they be?
Suspend your Disbelief and enjoy the ride
What other book might you compare The Skylark of Space to and why?
Triplanetary - both have the same themes - the striving of a select body of incoruptible men to overcome evil and establish a new world order.
Have you listened to any of Reed McColm???s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Yes - have taken in Read's work on both the SKylark and Lensmen series. As the launch point of the classic Skylark series Read does a phenomenal job bringing depth to a story that is dated in its portrayal of women and humans relative to others...but I love the punch Read's presentation does to revitalize the story. Makes me want to update this series.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
I particularly enjoyed the travails of DOrothy Vaneman after being abducted by Duquesne.

Good routine - but got stale after the third letter. Had hoped Amanda was going to shoot him at the end of the first letter.
