![]() ![]() With all due respect to most of the 5 Star reviewers, there is literally nothing in the book that is even close to original. ![]() Doc Smith's Lensman series or Burrough's John Carter of Mars for a few examples of things that will never win a Pulitzer but are infinitely more rewarding than wasting a few hours of your life watching the latest Transformers movie. But still managed to be lots of fun to read. A LOT of that stuff is nothing but good guys that are really, really good bad guys that are really, really bad and really transparent plot devices. I grew up reading SF from the 50's and 60's and the even earlier "Golden Age". I was often extremely interested - to discover which hackneyed plot device the author would use next.īut that's okay. ![]() Never really boring but never truly thought provoking. If you enjoy pure escapism and are just looking for a few hours entertainment, this is worth your time. ![]()
