A review by moiram
Birth of Fire by Jerry Pournelle

2.0

I was having difficulty finding any new science fiction I really wanted to read, so picked up my brother-in-law's old Laser Books copy of this story. I'd never read it before. There's lots of action, but the story is pretty basic, the politics evil them (government) vs noble us (pioneer/ex-convicts/revolutionaries) so, all-in-all, rather disappointing.
