A review by sarah_emtage
Space Viking by H. Beam Piper

3.0

Hard to sum up. The societies, politics and how they interact are intricate and well crafted. The fragility of "civilization" and repetition of history rings true. I don't agree with all the book's conclusions, but am glad that revenge is not portrayed as satisfying. I wish the hero had to deal with the consequences of some of the horrible things he did, but over all a really interesting read.
