Plot introduction
[edit]The story concerns two worlds: the remnants of Earth, which has been destroyed, and Kronweld, which exists in another plane.
Reception
[edit]P. Schuyler Miller described Renaissance as "a strangely moving book, overcoming its lack of characterization and other traditional shortcomings by [its] drive and sweep of imagination."[1]
