Read it if you can find it,
By A Customer
This review is from: Starbrat. (Hardcover)
I read this book as a pre-adolescent, and recently re-discovered it in my parents' attic. I haven't read science fiction in years, but this book was fabulous. It presents a dark, noirish version of the "Star Trek" future. Humanity has spread across thousands of planets, but instead of a disciplined, high-minded galaxy, Starbrat's future is filled with anarchy, cruelty, and bloodlust. The narrative moves very quickly (the book is short), covering a lot of ground without ever getting bogged down. It wastes no time on BS pseudo-scientific explanations of spaceships or fancy laser beams, which makes the willing suspension of disbelief a pleasure. Just a panoramic view of a brilliantly imaginative, if frightening future, tied up in a young Odysseus-like figure's struggle to get home. I'm on Amazon searching for a sequel.
