Book Review of A World of Difference

A World of Difference
reviewed on + 4 more book reviews


Early Turtledove. More of a pure SciFi story in the tradition of Heinlein, etc. than alternate history.

Interesting story. 2 Manned probes to planet "Minerva" encounter intelligent yet non-technical life. One probe is Russian one US. Cold War issues intervene and a brewing conflict among the natives is made worse by involvement of the humans.
