Hawksbill Station | Robert Silverberg
Pickpick

A really good novella about a penal colony placed in the Cambrian period. The men in the colony are political prisoners sent back in time for their revolutionary activities. Instead of being action filled, this is a thoughtful examination of stalled revolutions, the effects of isolation of people, and how people change their perspectives. This was a very enjoyable little piece of writing but the kindle version has some typos so beware.
