Customer Reviews

And I thought I wouldn't like a philosophical sci-fi!

This is a quietly written space exploration novel told from the perspective of an explorer whose ship came home. I was afraid that I wouldn't enjoy this after-the-fact story. But Mann makes this surprising approach work, for he's more interested in the spiritual change that such journeys are bound to cause. As such, I found myself drawn into the mysteries of motivation and action shown by Mann's antihero. Wulfsyarn is a staggering work of oddball psychology and spirit.

Culture painted even better than in Eye of the Queen.

Phillip Mann ha described a future society that not only may be possible, but also begs the human mind for it's incarnation. In a rich melding of ecology, technology, psychology, sweat, and factors I am sure elude me; Wulfsyarn, although a tragedy, draws the human spirit to the nature of life and liveliness. Taste for yourself of a religious order that somehow avoids dogma and stodge, backbones Wulf, and offers his yarn as its paradigm tale.
