Remember the story of Stanley and Livingstone? Sure you do. Henry Stanley was hired by his publisher to find Dr. David Livingstone in the deepest jungles of Africa and actually succeeded. This is Mike Resnick's updating of that story and he is less interested in promoting the journalist's heroism than in telling a fascinating story of a search for a missing medic on an alien world a "revisionist" story that is probably much closer to the truth than Stanley's version. Adventure world-building and a moral - what more could you ask?
