About this ebook
Homeworld is heaven on earth.
If you don't ask questions.
Homeworld is stable at last, hundreds of years after the collapse of the 20th Century economy. For the millions of proles, life is still a grim ordeal, but for the lucky few, like Engineer Jan Kulozik, there is every kind of luxury. Except one. On Homeworld, where everything and everyone is monitored by the faceless power of government, there is no freedom.
Jan Kulozik knew nothing of the Resistance; he probably didn't want to. But suddenly, he is part of it. And running for his life.

This book shows how well HH can turn a story. A departure from the glib style of The Stainless Steel Rat, more sinister of tone than Deathworld. The world is painted more by realistic and creative dialogue than narrative, and book one does not wrap things up as nicely as you may expect, but opens the story for what is to come. I enjoyed every page and look forward to the rest!
