4.0 out of 5 stars An Overlooked Collection, Feb 5 2003
By Brian Comerford (Denver, Colorado United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Introduced to this volume in 1982 or so, I found myself enraptured by the eloquence of Longyear's story-telling. While "Enemy Mine" stood out as the obvious leader amongst 4 loosely connected short story themes, "The Jaren" still remained my favorite, becoming something for inclusive-worldview SF that _Dances With Wolves_ had become for compensatory Native American studies. (In fact, I've always considered that "The Jaren" had a greater cinematic appeal than E.M., what with the paratrooping exoskeletons and band-of-brothers alien tribal loyalty, and all--but that's only me.) I would rank the stories by the order which they appear in the book ("The Jaren", "Enemy Mine", "Savage Planet", "USE Force"), and frankly, the momentum is lost in the last story, which, to me, is the volume's greatest disappointment. Over the years I have re-read the stories many times, and, like other reviewers, I have loaned my copy out only to lose track of it until Amazon. For SF fans, this is a volume worthy of reading at least once; it's an overlooked collection. (And, despite my fondness for Wolfgang Peterson's films, I'll always consider the motion picture version of "Enemy Mine" so completely inferior to Longyear's story and atmosphere, it's almost painful.)
