A review by chromatick
This Alien Shore by C.S. Friedman
4.0
I wanted to re-read this book from my youth because Friedman has written a sequel nearly 25 years later.
So how does a book from 1999 hold up today? Quite well actually. I've always enjoyed Friedman's writing and this book is no exception. The main character is very well written and interesting. The plot moves forward at a pretty good pace. The world-building is well done.
The main idea that drives the sci-fi in this novel is still interesting and the futuristic technology still feels fresh and not outdated.
I'm looking forward to reading the new novel now.
