Re: "I enjoyed it."
My favorite to date is 'Lord of Light' by Roger Zelazny. It's about a crew that pilots a ship full of hibernating passengers to a distant world, then keeps all the technology (including immortality) for themselves when they revive the passengers. Centuries or millennia later, the crew have assumed the roles of the Hindu pantheon - whom the rest of the world are required to worship - when one decides that their tyranny must end. His followers called him a god. He never claimed to be a god, but then he never claimed not to be a god. His name is Siddhartha.

Speaking of books. . .

A guy named Dennis Schmidt wrote a Sci Fi book titled Way-Farer.

I found it interesting - in a metaphysical sort of way.

The copyright on it is 1978.

Seems a bunch of humans went to colonize anew world . . . .
And the world seemed perfect in oh-so-many ways . . .
And they was moving right along when some alien entities
drove most of them crazy and a bunch of them killed each
other. 90 percent died.

How does one deal with alien beings who have no physical
bodies . . feed on emotions . . and can barely be detected. . .

I enjoyed it.
Zim.
