by Edmund Cooper ‧ RELEASE DATE: Feb. 25, 1973
A one linger exercise in post-holocaustian conflict about an orbiting super-society of humans who have everything -- except fecundity. Therefore they send their robots to the ""dirt people"" of Earth, now living in primitive tribes, to filch women for breeding. Dirt-person Berry, a chief transported upwards by mistake, outwits the techno-caste and achieves a mutual assistance pact. Active but overly familiar.
