What came first: 'Enemy Mine', or 'Manifest Destiny'?
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I can't check the copywrite dates to be sure. The only one I have left is 'Manifest Destiny'. I assumed it came first, as 'Enemy Mine' fits its place so comfortably in this collection illustrating the evolution of human's from elitist conquerors to an enlightened race who are willing to defend the rights and independence of other races...even against the depredations of fellow humans. Much as I loved 'Enemy, Mine', the story that I found most inspirational was 'Savage Planet'. And that was long before I considered teaching as a profession.This book is hard to find, or I'd have replaced it more often than twice. It does tend to walk away - in my case, usually with students I've given it to. Now I've found a supply, it will happen more often.

If you liked "Pulp Fiction" or Bradbury's "Illustrated Man", you'll love this book. Whilst "Enemy Mine" is an excellent story, the weaving of many short stories to give a timeline of what came before keeps me interested to this day. I read this book for the first time approximately twenty years ago and have had two copies "borrowed" from me since then. I came here to buy TWO more so I would be assured of having this excellent book around.
