larsinio 's review for:
Clans of the Alphane Moon
by Philip K. Dick
Four stars because i really liked it. And mostly because of a certain green slime.
This book is a bit weird, even by PKD standards. Split between a psychosis-UN on foreign moon, and terran business drama, this book is interesting all throughout.
Colorful aliens, psionic abilities, a large variety of settings -t his book has it all.
The book is at times a a bit self referential with the main character taking space amphetamines to write a lot of material. But at the time of its publication the readers would be unaware.
I enjoyed the interaction of Chuck with the slime mold - the relationship was endearing and fun.
Where the books misses is the "comedy ending" (although i appreciated a positive ending on the whole), the disjointedness, throwaway characters (what happens to joan), and lack of any real character arc outside of the wife. But she, being the "villain", doesnt have enough exposure to make her anything other than a sihlouettte.
IM glad im not running out of fun PKD books to read... yet.....swoon.
