[net.books] Star Smashers etc.

firby (04/01/83)

As everyone else seems to think "Star Smashers of the Galaxy
Rangers" is a very good satire on SF adventures. I didn't like
"Bill, the Galactic Hero" quite as much though. Another Harry
Harrison satire in the same vein is "The Technicolor Time Machine".
In this book a down and out inventor with a time machine nobody
wants meets a movie producer who has to make a Viking epic in less
than a week. The scene where they get the real Vikings to sign the
contracts is really good.
