The story, whether through narration or itself feels very odd with the pace. However, the message in it is very powerful and you still understand what’s going on. Harrison’s capacity to cultivate concepts to his readers is phenomenal. The ending to this story is served in a unique way and it makes you feel better about the actions that take a place earlier in it.
Once again a great read
First time to hear Harry Harrison. I have to wonder how much of this trope about interstellar social engineering was common to the Foundation series, or was commonly discussed ?
Fun little story!

Only an hour, but it was well spent. It's been a while since I read anything by Harry Harrison, but I will be have to seek some more out now.

A solid five stars. An excellent and thought-provoking story, with a truly science-based.central premise. This is what science fiction is at its best. Well-read, as ever, by the man from Baton Rouge.
Yet another great story

I like Harry's other stories but found this uneventful and plain boring...sorry couldn't even finish it.
