The Conquest of Gola by Leslie F. Stone

4.0

This groundbreaking story feels a little tongue in cheek and is an excellent, quick read. The author has a way of describing human beings from the perspective of a stranger that makes humanity sound grotesque and strange.
It takes an outside perspective - like that of the Gola - to make us step back and examine ourselves. How would another species judge humanity if they were to meet us today? I would recommend The Conquest of Gola, not just due to its historical relevancy, but the fun experience of reading it.
