On the planet Pyrrus, human colonists have fought a centuries-old war with the native life forms. These life forms adapt to human tactics and technology, evolving new species so rapidly that natives returning from even brief trips off planet must be carried in protective armor canisters from their ship to the safe buildings, where they will learn of the latest deadly threats. The Ethical Engineer is the second volume in the Deathworld series. It was originally published as a two-part serial in Analog magazine in 1963.

If you listened to Deathworld, DEFINITELY give this one a shot. Our boy Jason is as competent and irreverent as ever. And while I enjoyed how he handled the first Deathworld, he takes this second one on with the swashbuckling swagger of a young Stainless Steel Rat. Hopefully the third one is as good as this.
A Surprisingly Superb Sequel

Harrison deftly crafts a deprecated world where religion has replaced the underlying basis for science. Jason skillfully navigates the overwhelming greed and brutality to work his way up the food chain to place himself in a position for rescue. His nemesis throughout, Mikah becomes quite annoying as his maniacal focus on Jason continually creates situations where no matter what happens to both him and Jason, Jason is also see as the immoral provocateur.
The narration is reasonable with decent character distinction, good pacing, and appropriate mood. This is one story for cheering for underdog.

I really enjoyed the first book but I had a hard time getting through this book. The premise and plot were pretty good, nothing to complain about. The characters were pretty tiring though. It seemed like Jason spends the large majority of the journey being almost omniscient and being incredibly smug and contemptuous about it. Not that that's inherently a bad thing, that can be an interesting story. But paired with what feels like preaching was tiresome.
It seemed like the author had a lot to say about superstition and religious dogma, which could have been interesting conversations if he didn't set up so many strawman arguments. Felt like this book was a soapbox.
Good author.
Good narrator.
Felt a little too smug and very preachy for my taste.
decent, too much preaching
