I found this one really interesting, and engaging. I’m also bemused as to if the protagonist is supposed to be a hero or a bad guy. The author seems a bit ambivalent. There’s lots that resonates now with much of the content of this one. I think maybe it was written “straight” but my modern mind gives it a whole extra twist. A good one and well read:

Really enjoyed this old-school sci-fi tale of overpopulation and the need to reach for the stars, which was so admirably read by the narrator. His assertive voice and tone was a great fit for this novel.
interesting.
