alexanderp 's review for:

The Eternaut by Francisco Solano López, Erica Mena, Héctor Germán Oesterheld
5.0
adventurous dark inspiring fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

This took me by surprise, but I loved it.

It reads like a classic golden age alien invasion story, of which I'm sure some becomes lost in translation. Under the veneer of a pulp science fiction story is a layered plot, attempting to dissect colonialism, geopolitics, power and class. Very well done and one that I will more than likely return to in the future.
