this is a fascinating book and the narrator brings it to life. I totally enjoyed listening to this and even though it's now 5 in the morning and I have finally finished that I think that is time well spent. I highly recommend this book

Harry Harrison’s stories are all very different, but you can always count on one thing: having a main character who is relatable and lovable, even through their flaws. This particular story is what really hooked me to his writing. Jason DinAlt is the person we want to be with, want to be, and yet we can’t imagine being in his shoes. Deathworld, despite its name, leaves us with a sense of longing and hope for adventure and the continuation of the human spirit.

fantastic

I put this off for so long just because i hated the cover , a true "you cant judge a book by its cover" this story has everything a scifi fan needs in a good book.I have listened to this several times and im sure i will listen several more. I highly recommend giving this gem a listen ...you wont be disappointed 10/10 or 5/5 whatever

Best yet!

Very good story that gets going almost immediately and keeps up the tempo through to the end. Some novel ideas here and is the best book I have listened to so far on this site. The narrator does an excellent job of delivering this book and again, is the best one I have come across so far. Highly recommended and well worth five stars.

good book

Drakkii The Little Dragon

a very riveting tale of excitement and knowledge as well as learning and self discovery filled with lessons that should be learned and followed as well as lived by. by the people of today's modern and ever growing society. though the ending shouldn't have ended there it should have ended with one final chapter where we see Jason out in the galaxy with his new ship and crew as well as the people on pyrus thriving a true happy ending. but a good tale none the less

great though inconsistent

I really like this book. I've listened to it over 20 time and now come to realize that I don't like the main character. he is narcissistic with a self imposed god complex. then at the end of the book he is a selfless humanitarian? it just doesn't fit right. that being said I still love the book.

Great book

When I started listening to chapter 3, I realized I had read this book some 30 or 40 years ago, Was good to come across this and try to remember what was going on. Didn't remember much. but did remember the gun and holster. That I had found interesting in my youth...

Classic Dicties Scifi at its best.

Good, old-school scifi. The obvious strong Vietnam War era influence might date it a bit, but that's all good by me. It works. Just like Heinlein's Starship Troopers or Joe Haldeman's Forever War, it's a product of it's author's era, and it's a helluva ride.
