1088.0. ""Alien Earth" / M. Lindholm" by NWTIMA::KASSJE (just passing thru it) Wed Jul 29 1992 17:57

    I've read Megan Lindholm's "Alien Earth".  Thought it was pretty good
    though drawn out.  The writer develops the interplay between like
    minded alien and human mind very well.
    
    Anyway it's another good twist as to how the earth would end up and how
    humans would revist it thousands of years later.
    
    Opinions?

    A reasonable first novel, I thought, although it took forever to
    get to the earth.  How much proof did we need that these aliens
    were unpleasant?  Also, it was never clear why people put up with
    the Conservancy and their plans for a low-impact humanity.  Alien
    maninpulation only counts for so much - people must really have
    wanted to become stunted and sterile.  /jlr

Re .1

This is not her first novel, though it may be her first sf novel. She has
written several fantasies, including WIZARD OF THE PIGEONS and CLOVEN HOOVES,
and the recent collaboration with Steven Brust, THE GYPSY.
