I loved this book.. an easy read and great story. While not hard core sci-fi, I thought it was an interesting concept (ala Gulliver's Travels done as sci fi). If you're looking for a fast, entertaining book that has nice character development.. this is for you.

I can't tell if this book is predictable, because it follows all the sci-fi formulas, or if this book was on the leading edge of creating all those formulas.

Our hero struggles with his masculine impulses, in one scene. But not too much.

There's the talking computer/suit that can accurately predict everything, and simultaneously protect our hero from everything.

Our hero is rescued by the native population, accepted into their tribe, and even modified to be more like them.

Too many stock sci-fi elements.

A different sci-fi book by the great A.D. Foster. Good pacing and other than expected world and characters.
