![]() So yes, anyway, then tropes abound! It’s a colonial space adventure…there’s conspiracies and governmental corruption and adeventures and you love the cats. Although I don’t know if I want to speak to my cats. So obviously this is some real wish-fulfillment for a lot of us. ![]() It turns out that this mostly means cats. ![]() We follow young Troy Horan, of the Dipple, who can only find work in a pet store where exotic animals are shipped in to the colony. We find ourselves on an Earthlike planet, a colony that is also the temporary housing ground of a refugee people who though given safe passage and a place to live are treated as second class citizens. ![]() So this is an early 1960s science fiction novel by the pseudonymous writer Andre Norton, who I can’t say I know a lot about, and it is NOT the Margaret Atwood novel. I read this novel right after a novel about a mother dealing with the suicide death of her teenage son, and well, I think I needed this one. ![]()
