A Heritage of Stars

This book was written towards the end of the middle (does that make sense?) of Clifford D. Simak's novel writing career. It has many of his more usual themes: a depopulated Earth, enigmatic aliens, paranormal powers, robots. Instead of the lovable dog character we have a lovable hors, but you'll find familar settings all around. One that I'm going to revisit again and again.

Not much of a review, I know. But Simak was a man of few words, so it is probably best just to say "pick up his books and read them"!
