![]() Yet, overall, the story is a worthwhile look at the beginnings of Le Guin's world building. There were sections where I was mainly pulled along by Le Guin's poetic writing. Their goal is to find the enemy ansible and contact the League of All Worlds in order to alert them of the enemy presence.įor me, this book works. They journey to find the enemy base, the home of those who have attacked and killed Rocannon's crew mates as well as many who dwell in cities on Fomalhaut II. The majority of the novel focuses on Rocannon and Mogien, along with Kyo and others, and their trek south. In other words, the fantasy and sci-fi work side by side to make something quite unique. Here is the basis for the Ekumen, the ansible, and NAFAL (nearly as fast as light) travel. Nonetheless, the story, even with the fantasy elements, does have a sci-fi flair. ![]() There are creatures that resemble dwarves, elves, ring wraiths, and even hobbits. More fantasy than sci-fi, this book seems to have its roots in Middle Earth. ![]()
