serena_dawn's review against another edition
4.0
I quite liked the mentions of actual discoveries in this; The Antikythera mechanism most notably:
I also found the pace and scenes fitting for the time.
I will always wonder, if the series does end here what the "entity" was and how it related to the priestess/seers spoken oracles; and if the "Baldies" and "Fur Faces" told the truth about why they are doing what they are. I do like to have a little insight to why "bad guys" are bad, and if this is it, late as it is/was in coming - it is none the less interesting to chew on.
Also it was hinted here, and in the previous books, that the "Baldies" might be related into humanity and the reason the "Baldies" were after humanity was to slow progress into space so we would not be a plague upon other worlds; which apparently hasn't happened yet in the series. I will be very frustrated if, indeed, this is the end of the "game" as the title seems to suggest.
But, there are always a chance of finding answers in other of Andre Norton's books as I saw in "The Defiant Agents" what might have been the start of the Beast Masters legacy.
