Review: CITY AMONG THE STARS by Francis Carsac



4 Stars

Francis Carsac was a pseudonym of French geologist, archaeologist, and author Francois Bordes (1919-1981), who penned  six novels and several shorter works. CITY AMONG THE STARS is considered to be in the Golden Age of Science Fiction.  This is the first translation into English. 

A member of the Emperor's security force, traveling through Space with an urgent method, is the victim of sabotage and his spaceship is destroyed.  Fortunately he is rescued by a spacefaring civilization which eschews planetary living. Unfortunately, the leaders have designs on Empire technology, knowledge he has.
