6 / 10JiawenSome really fascinating ideas here, but some problems: the natives are pretty much stereotypes, and the whole "ocean planet with interesting aborigines" thing is done much better in Blue Planet. Still, well presented and worth checking out.
6 / 10nuclearnoiseThis is a really detailed and well written book. Unfortunately I found it to be of rather limited use. There's not much land other than a few mountain peaks and a starport. Also, the adventure threads generally revolve around diplomacy. So if you're into combat, you're probably not going to find it here.
