There is one other thing a little like the Kirstein, which is Sylvia Engdahl's This Star Shall Abide. It isn't as good, but it is good and it really is in that direction.

My local libraries don't have that title, and it seems to only be available in a small press omnibus.

Since I don't seem able to explain what I like about Kirstein, could you explain why you think Engdahl is similar to her and different from MacAvoy?

Briefly, the emergence of a scientific worldview in a low tech background. They're also both colonies that don't know it, but that's not what makes them similar. The Engdahl's a YA, and I read it as a kid but it pushes many of the same buttons for me that the Kirstein does.

I believe it's in print in Britain from Puffin under the title Heritage of the Star. (If it's not, it was about two years ago.)
