1.5 stars. An okay story but after reading Varley's Ophiuchi Hotline, this was a big let down. Definitely a product of the 70's and I found the "free love" aspect of the novel a bit tedious. I will say that the concept of Gaia was very interesting and some of the alien characters original. The problem for me was that I found all of the human characters boring.

Generally considered SF, this book has a lot of fantasy in it. It's full of interesting ideas and well written. Definitely worth the read.

This is book 1 of one of my very favorite sci-fi trilogies. Once I discovered them, in about 1980, I devoured them as quickly as possible, losing sleep so that I could keep reading. I went on to read everything else written by John Varley, and have never been disappointed. If you want a quick idea of what his writing is like without committing to a trilogy, try "The Barbie Murders" or "The Persistence of Vision" -- these are short stories.

This is one of those books I read back when it came out and then let sit on my shelf for a couple of decades. I did the same thing with Dune, Silverbergs MajipoorChronicles, and other books of that era. There were somethings I remember, like the centaur-like Titanides, And a lot of stuff I didnt. Its a good book, and Im interested in reading the next two novels if they ever come out cheap on the Kindle. Im pretty sure Ive tossed the old paperbacks I owned. Good classic Sci-Fi. It hasnt aged

3.8 ⭐This is John Varley's science fiction take on "The Wizard of Oz." It's not a yellow brick road that our Dorothy (aka Captain Cirocco Jones) follows through the alien habitat known as Gaea but rather a convoluted trail through a biologically engineered mix of landscapes and life forms.Varley has more fun in the Gaea novels than in his later, more pessimistic and polemical books. Inventive and sufficiently interesting to make you want to finish the story, it's a fine old piece of space opera.

This was a bit of a disappointment after Varley's Ophiuchi Hotline. However, if you like a quest theme like that of Farmer's Riverworld series, then you may like this novel and the two which follow. I enjoyed the originality of this, the first, but found the latter two increasingly tedious.
