Summary: This is one of my favorite scifi-utopian novels of all time.
Comment: I loved this book, and have read it many times. I especially love the quasi-utopian society it depicts. I really think that a society like that could work, at least in basic principal. The Chironians are all very decent, logical, interesting people. I do think their habit of always carrying guns, and being very free in their use of them, although only for self-defense, is a bit troubling. That would be something that would definitely require a major change in the characters of our society's individuals. But that, along with the idea of trading in respect, rather than money (as long as their are sufficient commodities to satisy everyone--and that too would take some modifications in character, which would require teaching people through media and education), I think could and would be a very good thing.

Summary: A book to read again and again
Comment: A few years ago I bought a second hand copy of this book. During this time I must have read it at least once a year. I like it that much.
It is a book about what humanity could aspire to become if we can put away the mistakes of the past and present.
The arguments I've read that this is a unrealistic fantasy.... this is a book of fiction that portraits the thought and maybe the wishes of the author. You can agree with them or not.
This is one of the few books that I would recommend to a beginning SF reader. It is not too difficult and a pleasure to read, and unlike many other books you are not left with a feeling of light depression because every main character died or had some other terrible fate happen to them.
If you are interested in other works of Mr. Hogan I would recommend 'The Giant Novels' and 'The Genesis Machine'.

Summary: From back of book
Comment: Invasion from Earth
Earth seemed doomed to a fiery death so they colonized the Alpha Centauri system with children.
But not everyone perished in Old Earth's War. Decades later, a generation ship bearing a cargo of colonists- and an army to protect them- headed for the planet Chiron to reassert Earth's lawful control over the fledgling colony.
Too bad the colonists didn't see things the same way.
A deadly crash- with supermodern weapons - was inevitable as each faction sought to convert the other to the "right" way.
