I feel this book described the errors of mankind and just being human. What would humans of earth do if they happen to find other humans on another planet. This book displays a scenario of what might actually happen. Robert B Boardman is a good writer. He pulled off a good story of economics, politics and especially greed, in which, I feel is happening in our society today. I think he hit the nail right on the head with what our current government is acutually doing. I would of gave this book a five but it lack a little bit of "Umpff", other than that this book is entertaining

This is a very entertaining book. The underlying theme is similar to James Hogan's Voyage to Yesteryear (another very good book) or Eric Frank Russell' And Then there Were None.

It is a case of a world that has evolved without the force and fraud that necessarily accompanies the imposition of the state on society. The the do gooders arrive and decide that they must "help" these poor deluded free happy souls with the trappings of the state: subsidized transportation, voting, taxes, police thugs, and so on.

If you are frustrated with the shriveling of freedom in the face of our own do gooder fascists here on earth, you'll enjoy this read.
