Summary
A jungle planet must defend against exploitative aliens in this novel by the number one New York Times best-selling author of Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
From the rich imagination of science-fiction great Alan Dean Foster comes the story of Midworld, a Humanx Commonwealth planet that's equally fragile and hostile. Covered by a lush rainforest, Midworld is home to a primitive society that lives in harmony with the natural world. But the arrival of an exploitative human company, whose workers know nothing of Midworld's delicate ecosystem, sparks a conflict. Should Midworld's villagers aid the humans or stand against them?
The hero of Foster's addictive pause-resister, Born, decides to lead two humans across the perilous jungle. His choice propels Midworld toward annihilation - and leads him headlong into a battle for survival.

proper sci-fi
I read this book as a boy and loved it, read it to death. Decades later i heard the rumour that James Cameron had used the book as a basis for his blockbuster Avatar so I had no choice but to revisit, this time in Audiobook form. I was expecting it to have aged quite badly (old sci-fi books sometimes do that) but found it as engaging if not more so than I did forty years ago. Brilliant story beautifully written and well narrated. What a bonus that it was free. Give it a go, if you like quality science fiction you will love this excellent book.

A hidden gem of a story.
40+ years between readings and I enjoyed it even more.
Give it a try.
