Decision at Doona (Doona Series #1) Book

Now this is the type of science fiction I love. Published in 1969 it looks at possible solutions to an overcrowded, bored, unenthusiastic world(s). McCaffrey also looks at the problems with non-resident government making ALL the decisions with few or none of the facts - even not believing the facts they are given or that the government may be incorrect. Adherence to rules absolutely also can get you into trouble so when things get out of control you have to punt and do the best you can. Sometime if we take the government out of our lives the people get along just fine.

I know why my novels are the way they are - because I grew up on this type of science fiction and fantasy. It was not all blood and terror - it was people working together in whatever situation they found themselves in to the very best of their abilities and they learned that they can do much more than they thought.

I have been pleased to find the Doona trilogy - books 2 & 3 were written in the 1990's - so much later and with a co-author (Jody Lynn Nye). It will be interesting to see how some of the characters have grown up and how the story has developed. My thanks to Anne McCaffrey for starting something good.
