tivasyk reviewed City at World's End by Edmund Hamilton
Review of "City at World's End" on 'Goodreads'
переслухав (утретє?) ну, класичний гамільтон; колись здавалося захоплюючою фантастикою, — зараз вже не вражає, але читати/слухати ще можна.

космічна пригодницька новела про міжпланетну політику, космічний розбій та помсту. далеко не шедевр, але читабельно для розваги; до рівня космічної опери на кшталт «the expance» не витягує. політичні преференції автора (і, відповідно, головного персонажа) наївні до сліз.

непогано, як на підліткове пригодницьке чтиво у дизельпанковій альтернативній історії.
