frakalot's review against another edition
4.0
I really liked Escape into Space, it is my second Tubb read and it has a lot of what Planetfall (my first Tubb) was lacking. It's another simple classic but there's an intriguing plot with some clever characters, good environment descriptions and even a little bit of sciencing. The devious activities juxtaposed with the hopeful and ambitious motives was quite a cool theme.
The romance came across as awkward and at times a bit creepy so it didn't really work and didn't seem necessary.
Carl Sagan was given credit for the Drake equation, which made me imagine the author watching Cosmos while jotting down his notes for later reference.
