‘A Meditation on Ethics and Forgiveness of Sin Cleverly Masked as Science Fiction’
“… [its] multitude of intelligent life forms… encounter different problems that require them to learn or demonstrate knowledge of a wide range of ethical dilemmas as broad as punishment for crimes versus forgiveness for them to learning how to become accepting of different behaviors and beliefs.”

@Roundtrip As I recall, White, who was Northern Irish and lived in Belfast, wanted to write space adventure but wanted it to be nonviolent.
