Satans World

Rating:
Summary: Good Space Opera - great science topics
Review: Vital part of Anderson's future history (early on, before the empire that Dominic Flandry defended even existed), when Nick van Rijn's traders discovered a rogue world that was approaching a sun close enough to get warmed up. The notion of brown bodies was new in the 1960's when this was written, and the human battles over this freak of nature was as good as anything Anderson has ever written. His desciption of what was going on as the planet warmed up were great as well.
