As for the winning author, anyone who is this good the first time out demands to be heard from again. Reviewed in the United States on ApVerified Purchase I found 'Warchild' because Tanya Huff recommended Karin Lowachee as one of her favourite science fiction writers. ![]() The book is consistently good, especially at rendering Jos' viewpoint at different ages, and seasoned sf readers may look on it as an update of Heinlein's Citizen of the Galaxy (1957). 'Warchild' by Karin Lowachee - science fiction brave enough to confront what abuse and war does to a child. But he is dubious, sharpening his internal conflict of loyalties. His ostensible mission is to learn more about humanity to help end the war. They raise him, train him to be a warrior and spy, and eventually send him back among his own people. ![]() Determined and desperate, he escapes on an alien world, only to end up in the hands of the strint, aliens at war with humanity, whom Jos was brought up to hate and fear. When pirates destroy the merchant starship that is eight-year-old Jos' home and kill the rest of his family, he is enslaved with the rest of the children. The latest winner of Warner Aspect's first-novel contest makes highly successful use of a thoroughly familiar plot line. ![]()
