Slick and entertaining, this is a fun read but doesn't rise much above Storytime. The key asset is that the narrator is an alien; telling a First Contact story through an alien p-o-v is a great idea. There are plot holes, but that the aliens aren't that alien at all in psychology or social structure rather dumbs this down. This is a fine popcorn-movie kind of book, but don't mistake it for weighty. ( ) Romanzo interessante e gradevole che esula un po' dalla solita avventura tipica fosteriana: nella narrazione del primo difficoltoso contatto umani-thranx Foster si dedica maggiormente a riflessioni, analisi, metafore sulla diversità dei popoli e delle loro mentalità/culture (non ci dimentichiamo che siamo in piena guerra fredda), di quanto sia difficile superare i propri pregiudizi e capire l'altro. Ed è proprio questo l'ostacolo maggiore dei protagonisti che per prima cosa devono combattere proprio le paure, i pregiudizi, le tradizioni della loro stessa gente più che l'alieno (ripugnante) che si trovano di fronte. Romanzo a tratti un po' lento e ripetitivo, resta cmq una bella lettura. Fun romp. Naturally, on a space romp like this, humanity will find another poor, bewildered species, make first contact, take them under our magnificent wing - and from their an alliance is born. Humans do not shed Crystal Tears - but Thranx do. As does one young agricultural worker with a destiny he never dreamed of...(nor did any of the other members of the Commonwealth-to-be). For once we get to see what first-contact would be like from the OTHER end of the contact pool. As far as how it reads... it's Foster's Commonwealth series. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

Before Man and insectlike Thranx had become allies, when the reptilian AAnn were just occasional raiders of Thranx colony worlds, one young Thranx agricultural expert lived a life of quiet desperation. A dreamer in a world of sensible, stable beings, Ryo buried himself in his work -- reclaiming marshland from a tenacious jungle -- until he came across a letter describing a relative's encounter with horrid, two-legged, soft-skinned space-going beasts . . .
