How can you tell the legend from the fact on those worlds that lie so many years away? - planets without names, called by their people simply The World, planets without history, where the past is the matter of myth, and a returning explorer finds his own doings of a few years back have become the gestures of a god.

Rocannon's World


Rocannon was a Terran scientist on Fomalhaut II one moment, the sole survivor of his crew fleeing the vicious attack of the invaders from Faraday the next.

Marooned among the humanoids of this alien planet - the cave-dwelling Gdemiar, the elvish Fiia and the warrior Liuar - he had to find some way to fight back. 

Rallying the primitive natives around him, Rocannon set out to prove that technology was no match for courage and love of freedom.

Bought this once I learned it was a part of the series that The Left Hand of Darkness was a part.

  • I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
  • Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
  • When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
  • When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
  • Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
