Commentary
These stories of an Earth spacewoman who travels to explore new frontiers and for the love of learning are fabulous. Readers familiar with Star Trek who liked the moral dilemmas and communications problems posed by exploring strange new worlds, and who appreciated the logic behind the Prime Directive, will love this book, published in 1962. And in fact this book wears incredibly well: Mitchison created a work that manages to retain its freshness almost 40 years later.
