5.0 out of 5 stars
wonderful science fiction, Oct 4 2003
By "luckylynx" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: To Stand Beneath the Sun (Mass Market Paperback)
Mr. Strikland is best known for his excellent Star Trek novels, but this novel, truth to tell, is his best. The premise, a planet where women outnumber men 10 to one, where men are woshipped as Lords, but women run and rule the planet, and a ship called the "Sailing Star" is in a decaying orbit around the planet. From the Sailing Star falls a pod containing Tom Perion, a strange man who speaks the "High" tongue understood only by the priestesses of Kalea. What is his origin? He claims to come from a ship called "Galileo", in which dozens of other humans are still in stasis. Can a man get the women rulers of Kalea to believe his story in time to save the inhabitants of Galileo from a fiery plunge to the surface of Kalea? A great adventure story with some interesting observations about gender roles.

To Stand Beneath The Sun, Nov 13 2002
By John Jones - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: To Stand Beneath the Sun (Mass Market Paperback)
Excellent SciFi novel. An entertaining novel that prompts one to re-evaluate society's value/equality of the sexes. I have read this book at least a dozen times to the point of the pages falling apart.
Listmania!
