All his life, Fraden had been in control, had bent situations, conditions, people, to his own will. He had stood solidly, reaching out to change men and events, but had never been changed by them. He had been booted out of Greater New York, he had taken and lost the Asteroid Belt, and he was still the same Bart Fraden.But on Sangre... something had been done to him. He had been tampered with. For the first time in his life, Bart Fraden felt himself moved by forces beyond his conscious control. Had he changed Sangre?

Bert Fraden n'avait plus qu'à se trouver une bonne petite planète indépendante, avec un potentiel révolutionnaire suffisant pour qu'un type un peu marie puisse renverser le gouverne-ment local et instaurer le sien à la place. Ensuite, il se la coulerait douce des siècles durant en compagnie de la splendide Sophia O'Hara. SE seule erreur fut de choisir Sangre, la planète aux mille souffrances : tortures, terreur, cannibalisme, élevage de chair humaine. Ce fut une drôle de révolution ! ( )
An odd book in which the protagonist -- a gangster cum revolutionary -- is forced, or so he thinks, to dehumanise himself further and further in order to survive. It is not so much about the ends versus the means as it is about whether the game is worth playing at all. The setting is of the torture porn variety, and I suspect Spinrad was trying to write The Iron Dream when he wrote this. I think that book makes Spinrad's point better, and that he should try to let this one go quietly out of print. ( )
