REVIEWS/QUOTES:

Hobson's Planet: This thought provoking sci fi novel demonstrates how someone with natural leadership skills will usually rise to the top in most any scenario. Culp Robinson wins the US presidential election; however, his victory is stolen from him. When he protests, he finds himself thrown into prison. Three years later he is offered an alternative to travel two plus years to Hobson’s Planet, staying awake as an attendant of settlers placed in suspended animation. Once on the new world, he only wants to find his ex-wife and daughter; however, he is headed for loftier positions as a reluctant head of a revolution against an alien race.

This book has everything: frontier life and culture, politics, alien wars and revolutions, sex with an exotic alien female, and super ray gun weapons against projectile weapons, and people fighting for their political and economic freedom. The story’s pace will yank you through it. -- We rated it five hearts. Bob Spear
