Judy's Reviews > A Million Open Doors

I just finished reading this story of the clash of cultures on different planets. With the advent of the technology for people to travel instantaneously from one planet to another, an effort begins to reintegrate all of the far-flung human colonies into a connected human culture.

Giraut and two friends go from their home on Nou Occitan to Caledony, where they encounter a vastly different and repressive culture. Giraut's character develops and grows over time as he meets new people in incorporates new points of view, just as he is bringing some of his own view to his new friends on Caledony.

This was an engaging story. I had previous really enjoyed another book from John Barnes -- "Mother of Storms".
