Worlds of exile and illusion<\/em> by Ursula K. Le Guin<\/p>\n

From the publisher, ” The author’s first three novels–City of Illusions, Rocannon’s World, and Planet of Exile–are included in an omnibus edition, all set in the same universe as The Left Hand of Darkness, as her characters battle forces in society that seek to tear them apart.”<\/p>\n

Three novels make up this book: Rocannon’s world — Planet of exile — City of illusions.<\/em><\/p>\n

Rocannon’s World <\/b><\/i>by Ursula K. Le Guin – what a great story. It is one of three in a compilation I randomly pulled at the library, I’m looking forward to the other two.
\nShe paints worlds bound up in deep space travel and invents a plausible faster than light travel.<\/p>\n

Planet of Exile<\/b><\/i> – Ursula K. Le Guin – second of the three novellas in this book from the library. This is better than Rocannon’s World, which I liked very much. Planet of Exile has some twists that while reading the posts to the an article on T-Cell research, I wanted to post about one of her main plot lines in this story.<\/p>\n

Finishing up the trilogy Worlds of Exile and Illusion<\/i><\/b> by Ursula K. Le Guin is City of Illusion<\/b><\/i>. A good ending to the group, she ties up the plot well and gives a very satisfactory conclusion to this story arc. She is a fantastic writer, I was impressed with her constraint in using science correctly. These worlds are believable and vivid, the people and races in them well woven, all tied together with very good writing. I had only read The Lathe of Heaven <\/i>prior to this trilogy and will read more of her work soon. Oddly enough, I was induced to pull her work from the library shelves after reading a favorable mention in the non-fiction work I finished recently, The dawn of everything : a new history of humanity.<\/i><\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
