Required Reading

Life is complicated enough without getting into hotwater with federal agencies so: TAKE NOTE Many things I review I received at no charge in exchange for an honest review. Consider this as informing you that ALL things I review may have been gotten at no charge. Realistically about 40% but in order to keep things above board just assume that I got the stuff free. I do not collect information on my readers. If cookies or other tracking stuff is used on my blogs it is due to BLOGGER not ME. Apparently the European Union's new rules state I need to inform you if cookies are being use. If they are it isn't byu me, consider yourself INFORMED.
Words like, “sponsored,” “promotion,” “paid ad” or even just “ad” are clear ways to disclose that you’re being paid to share information and links so BE AWARE that some of what I write can be described as an AD by the government. BTW I will NEVER say a product is great, super or even acceptable if it isn't, whether I got it free or NOT!

Pawn's Gambit by Timothy Zahn


 
Zahn frequently poses questions on social issues.  This book of short stories, almost novelettes,  has some stories that make you think.   Cascade Point or The Giftie Gie may have been my favorites of the book.

Giftie Gie points out the disabilities or differences are often used to discriminate when the differences are often self imposed.  I really enjoyed the interplay between Neil and Heather.   The Final Report on the Lifeline Experiment gave some thought to the ramifications of abortion.   Cascade Point made one think about dimensionality. 

Overall Zahn satisfied as he always does.

I recommend it.    

I'm always shocked when I find an author without a website, particularly a scifi author, however I could not find one for Zahn.

This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
