4.0 out of 5 stars Anthropological science fiction, 5 Aug 2007
By Mikko Saari (Tampere, Finland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ammonite (Paperback)
Ammonite reminds me a lot of Sheri Tepper and Ursula K. Le Guin. It's a tale of Marghe, an anthropologist sent to work on the Company-owned planet Jeep. Jeep is inhabited by group of Company forces, the original colonists and a deadly virus that kills all men and quite a few women as well. There's no proven vaccine, either.

Marghe sets out to understand the world and the people who live in it. The mysteries of the virus and the colonists (if they're all women, where do the babies come from?) offer a tempting challenge to an anthropologist, despite the resistance from the Company commander.

It's a good story. It's well written, beautiful as the planet it describes. Marghe's journey is packed with action, adventure, romance and exploration. For those seeking lesbian themes or strong female characters in science fiction, this is a must-read book, and I'd recommend Ammonite to anybody who likes science fiction with sociological or anthropological leanings.

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting SF, 15 July 2001
By amazon@concretecow.fsnet.co.uk (Milton Keynes, Bucks) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ammonite (Mass Market Paperback)
This was quite an interesting book set on an alien world. In many ways it is a standard mystery thriller. Can Marghe solve the mystery and find a cure to the virus that may imprison her on the planet for the rest of her life.
