Summary: It lingers in my mind
Review: I first read this book many years ago and was totally intrigued with the concept of dumping prisoners on a planet to fend for themselves. Their development of law was fascinating to me and keeps coming back whenever our current laws somehow fail. I would love to see this book as a movie.

Summary: Good Sci-fi examining law, society and morality
Review: I've been searching for another copy of this book for quite some time. My original copy was loaned out so many times, it apparently decided make a go of it on its own. An excellent read. The main character is a piece of human filth at the beginning of the story, and is landed on a prison planet in a shipload of similar creatures. Being thrown together in adversity makes a group of these lowlifes, and they find themselves fighting back-to-back against a whole planet of people like themselves, bloodthirsty, implacable and despairing. With no laws to break, and no society to offend, they find they have to construct such from scratch or die under the heels of the gangs they face.

Summary: An old Si-Fi concept presented in a down-to-earth manner!
Review: It took me a long time before I got around to reading this book, but once I did, I wondered why I hadn't read it earlier! Dumping prisoners on an empty planet is a fairly old Si-Fi concept and has been used many times, but never with the angle Longyear takes on it. Not only is it facinating as a fiction novel in itself, but is also a psycological book that will open your eyes to the modern day prison system and its flaws. Although I have never been very interested, or had many opinions on 'Justice', this book has helped me form some of my opinions on it. I found the book to be very realistic portrayal of the criminal mind/society and I would recomend this book to EVERYONE!!!!! I have already recomended this book to my history and psycology teachers after hearing concepts in their classes that this book could apply to. Please give the book a try. I garenttee that you will be glad you did! I was! :)

Summary: Personal Favorite
Review: This is my favorite Longyear book. The premise is interesting with a lot of action, believable characters and a great big dose of uplifting hope for the future of mankind. Well crafted and a book I find I have to reread once a year just for sheer pleasure. This a not so gentle hint that I would like to see another book on the Razai.
