"Home" is a thoughtful metaphor about the phenomenon of immigration and the clash of different cultures. The author might have chosen to relate a story of Eastern Europeans immigrating to America during the 19th Century. Instead, his story takes place in the far future, with pilgrims from a depleted Earth traveling to a new planet. They are welcomed and helped by some of the natives, but despised by others. The discovery of a common DNA leads inevitably to inter-species romance with equally inevitable stresses and trials. Somehow people make do and survive. This is not a Star Wars tale, with ray guns and interplanetary blasters. Rather, it is a story of quiet struggles within, to come to grips with our own natures. A unique accomplishment.

Old-Fashioned SF Served Up The Way You Always Remembered It When a party of human colonists fleeing a starved and ravaged Earth get stranded on the remote planet Nakis, the unexpected meltdown of their landing vehicle forces them abruptly back to the Stone Age. It's not long before they are discovered by the humanoid indigenes, whose gentle civilisation is still recovering from deeper horrors in their own past. 'Home' is the story of the early years of the human colony and how they and their hosts rub along. As SF, it's very reminiscent of the Golden Age. If you loved the likes of Asimov, Heinlein, then you'll enjoy this.
