Yes! It was the first series I read after grad school and I went on a bender. Didn’t hurt we had nearly the whole series on ebook through my dad’s torrent shenanigans 25 years ago

It is also just…an old person’s name right now.

I had a black student named Adolf, in the US. He’d be mid 30s by now. I wonder if his mom was African instead of the more common African American who’s grsndparents were part of the migration from the aouth to upper midwest.

Brb, gonna do a line of mouse shit

That sounds…too likely😭

I enjoyed the series! It starts out like a fantasy because dragons. But then it turns out to be sci fi because the planet is populated by colonist humans who got there on a ship generations ago. It was picked because there weren’t enough resources that capitaliam was interested, so an intentional community settled in to get away from all that. But it went off the rails.

Yeah, if they knew who he was and where he lived, those assholes probably already hated him for everything and then got angry and riled up and shot him.

What a tragedy, sounds like he was doing so much important work for his community.

This reminds me of the old book series Pern. But I don’t know if I should spoiler a 50 year old series.

A classic oldie would be Starhawk’s Fifth Sacred Thing.

Eta-this is also a favorite genre of mine!
