A review by anna_hepworth
Arena by Fredric Brown

4.0

Read this because it was nominated for a retro Hugo award, so I was reading quite a few works from the same year in a short period of time.

This is one I‰ЫЄve read before, and it is still as weird and powerful as it was previously. One human, one alien, in an arena set aside by a stronger alien to decide the outcome of the whole war. Bloodthirsty, but not irrationally so.
