This is is one of those Sci-Fi books that explores an aspect of society when taken to an extreme. In this case, we explore genetic engineering, and one scenario for what might happen as we optimize human beings. We get beat over the head with both the humanity and the INhumanity of the optimen - genetically engineered warriors. Even though we find out early on that not only are the optimen strong and fearless, they're also intelligent. As we discover, they may have turned out to be more intelligent than US. This, obviously, becomes a problem as the optimen decide that THEY are homo sapiens to the normal human's neanderthal. It takes awhile to get to the point, but it's made... time and time again.

Throughout the centuries that have passed since humans first ventured into interstellar space, they have been at war with the alien Veich. The human race has, in consequence, been fully militarized, its educational system being a form of military training--which includes, among other disciplines, the elimination of fear from the human psyche. Attitudes to the war have, however, been colored by the gradual discovery of relics revealing that it is echoing an earlier interstellar conflict whose antagonists have completely disappeared, victors and vanquished alike. On a neglected continent of an unimportant world, ex-sergeant Remy and other human and Veich deserters have joined forces to form a mercenary company that places its expert skills at the disposal of the dominant indigenes. This refuge from the greater war is, however, disrupted when archeologists on another world discover evidence that there might be significant relics of the earlier war buried in the inhospitable heart of the continent, where barbarian tribes are currently massing for a religious war. Remy has no alternative but to revert to working for his own race, knowing that whatever he enables them to find, or even if they find nothing at all, his own life will be in grave peril, and that nothing will ever be the same again.... Great military SF! Also published as Optiman. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
