I thoroughly enjoyed 'Children of Tomorrow' ... I've always been a fan of van Vogt, but you never know what you will get when you pick up one of his books; it can either be a painful experience or a magnificent one. I am happy to say it is the latter.

It is a pretty basic story plot, centered around a city built upon space-faring economy and the affects that holds upon families. Ultimately it is a story surrounding childhood rebellion from poor or lack of effective parenting. Focusing upon a system created where children look after children in the absence of father figures. It is a great and simple idea and had me engaged the entire way through.
