For Farmer Fans, A Look At His Beginnings

This was Farmer's first novel. It disappeared for many years, and broke his heart when he was ripped off by his fly-by-night publisher and the manuscript was stolen. It's nice to see it back in print (and it's also available in its entirety on the web)-- it's not his best, but still very entertaining as a rollicking adventure with some fun ideas along the way. Farmer fans will want to read it to see where he began, and new readers will enjoy its simple virtues.

An old fashioned swashbuckling adventure

This book is just plain fun. There are no deep issues here, other than the love story, just an adventure that sweeps you along for 150 pages. The main character is stranded on a foreign planet with no technology and when a space ship arrives he sees his ticket back to civilization. The story that follows is filled with ships that "sail" on grass instead of water, cannibals, pirates, moving islands, and, of course, a love interest. Put simply, the book is just a lot of fun. Unfortunately, the book is out-of-print. But if you're willing to find an old copy somewhere, it's worth the hunt.

GREEN ODYSSEY is a highly entertaining novel

A Good SF novel about sailing over verdant alien plains with windrollers, giant vessels with wheels. A grand adventure.

This is a really good book

The storyy is about a human astronaut who crashes on a distant world. This is millenia after the collapse of interstellar travel by humans. This world had evolved into a distinct culture, which has blended in with high tech remnants of it ancestors
