ALIEN DUST relates the first thirty-five years of the colonization of Mars. It is a poignant story of Man against Nature. No individual hero or heroine marches steadily through its pages. There is no triumphal ending-only faint hope. Instead, against a background of the shifting red sands of a planet unfit for human habitation, emerges the grim picture of pioneer men and women pitting their courage, wits and even lives against the biggest enemy in the Solar System-an alien planet. Rich and warm in human emotion, ALIEN DUST is one of those rare science fiction stories which presents Man in his true perspective-as the intruder.
Alien Dust eBook EC Tubb
I discovered E.C. Tubb after reading one of his short stories in a Science Fiction Mega-pack compilation. I liked his style and decided to try one of his full length novels. The premise of this one sounded interesting; a chronology of mankinds first attempt at the colonization of Mars. I think Tubb did a great job telling this tale of adversity! The way he describes the challenges man faces is so believable, it seems like these things could actually happen if we were to attempt Mars colonization one day. Tubb was very descriptive, but not overly so where it became a boring and over detailed read. I felt it had a nice and enjoyable pace throughout.Although the book was very good, it was broken up into several short stories that take place over time. He will tell the story of one era of the colonization, and then jump ahead to the next block of time. This creates a problem as a reader, because it doesn't allow you to develop a real emotional connection to the characters. By the time you do so, virtually all of those characters are gone by the next "time jump" in the book. While this can be somewhat of a problem, somehow Tubb makes it work. There is a lot of time to cover in this story and I can't see another way of doing it without breaking it up into separate novels.
Tubb is definitely one of those notable classic science fiction authors, in the same realm as Issac Asimov, Andre Norton and Arthur C Clarke. If you're into sci-fi and like the premise, this is a book I can recommend! Its an oldie but a goodie.
