SOL DE OUTRA ERA (COLEÇÃO URÂNIA #13)

Fred Saberhagen -- First Complete Publication of THE WATER OF THOUGHT: Soul Warrior (1965) '-'Planeteer Boris Brazil visiting backwater colony planet with intelligent natives whose rituals center around a liquid with unpredictable effects on the earth-descended. After another planeteer drinks the Water of Thought and goes berserk, Boris follows him into the wilderness, and ultimately learns what the water is and how it works on the native species. (...) Of all the enigmas surrounding the planet Kappa, none was more inscrutable than that mysterious liquid central to all the native rites. There was, in fact, only one certainty about it: Now that it threatened to contaminate the worlds of Earth, its source would have to be destroyed - even though for the native Kappans the Water of Thought was as necessary as the Breath of Life itself. "I enjoyed The Water of Thought very much" -- Ursula K. LeGuin.[Reviews] 'One can empathize well with planeteer Boris Brazil, though one also becomes tired of the variety of `natives' on the planet. This novel is, principally, about conflict in a lack of resources'.'
