"Thousand years, maybe more. No one ever bothers to build new ones. What for? The starmen don't mind living in the old ones."
"I almost wish the medical clearance hadn't come through after all," said Roger moodily.
"How so?"
"Then we'd be still quarantined up there. We wouldn't be able to come down and get another look at the kind of place this really is."
"I don't know which is worse—to be cooped up in quarantine or to go wandering around a dismal hole like the Enclave." Alan stood up, stretched, and took a deep breath. "Phew!

Una novela juvenil entretenida y con final feliz. Por partes me pareció un poco ingenua. Algunas escenas familiares son frías y poco creíbles. Considerando que "Obsesión espacial" fue su segunda novela y que la escribió con tan solo 19 años de edad, hay que decir que es buen comienzo.

Robert Silverberg and I have had a fairly scatological association for the best part of four decades. My childhood in the 70s and early 80s was full of little encounters when I'd bump into him in small shops with the odd revolving book rack or amongst the slim volumes brought home from jumble sales.
