This second volume reminded me of [b:Colonus|28815005|Colonus|Ken Pisani|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1455504571l/28815005._SY75_.jpg|49030992]. Both stories echo [b:The Dispossessed|13651|The Dispossessed|Ursula K. Le Guin|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1353467455l/13651._SY75_.jpg|2684122]. Both are tales of independent communities, aparentely fragil when compared to the big capitalistic powers. And these communities struggle to find resilience and defend their autonomy.
In [a:Ursula K. Le Guin|874602|Ursula K. Le Guin|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1244291425p2/874602.jpg]'s story, the lead character is more interesting and complex. He wants to break the isolation between the two worlds and wants the good solutions to be shared. In [b:Colonus|28815005|Colonus|Ken Pisani|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1455504571l/28815005._SY75_.jpg|49030992], there is no possible understanding with the oposing power, and in Planetoid the bridge between the two groups broke to rubble.

Spoiler
What is really interesting in Garing story is that the planetoid is a harsh place to live, a landscape of junk, not a place suited for life. And the invaders force the community to go elsewhere, and it turned out tyo be a better place.
