This is an excellent book. The first chapter was difficult the way the main character was introduced through someone else, a person that was never heard from again but after you get into the meat of the narrative, it is awesome! Although this took place in a time many decades ago, the same thing could happen today in the year 2018!
I really like character development and this book has a lot of it. Each character changes through what they go through, some more than others, but I really like it. This was a different experience for me from a favorite author of mine but Dorothy Gilman proved that she is a master storyteller! Well done! ( )

Well written, interesting characters, surprise ending. ( )

To be completely candid, although I am perfectly positive I read this book, I really don't remember it at all. I am looking at the back cover and not one thing rings a bell. Since I really like Gilman's other books so much, I am giving this only 2 stars on the basis that if it had been better I would remember it! ( )

"Incident at Badamya" was an interesting book. It had a unique plot line and believable characters. It is filled with adventure the same way any capture-and-escape themed story is, but it also explores the minds of the characters, and how people will bond when they are forced together in tough times and they are all each other has. It will take you on a journey, and is a good read. ( )

Her best is so good that I wonder why she couldn't hit that level more often. Regardless, this is very good indeed. Like The Tightrope Walker, it suggests how the deep structure of a person can surface suddenly, and crack the false face.
