Synopsis
The discovery of another habitable world might spell salvation to the three bitterly competing power blocs of the resource-starved 21st century; but when their representatives arrive on Jem, with its multiple intelligent species, they discover instead the perfect situation into which to export their rivalries. Subtitled, with savage irony, 'The Making of a Utopia', Jem is one of Frederik Pohl's most powerful novels.

* 'The most consistently able writer science fiction has yet produced' -- Kingsley Amis
* ‘One of Frederik Pohl's best novels – and my personal favourite. Complex people in tough situations on a marvelous and gritty world – who could ask for more from any novel?’ Greg Bear
