[net.sf-lovers] Latest Keith Laumer 'Novel'

joel@peora.UUCP (Joel Upchurch) (03/24/86)

        A few days ago I bought 'Retief and the Pangalactic Pageant of
        Pulchritude' while at a local store.  Imagine my surprise when
        I got 77 pages into this book and the story named above  ended
        and  the  rest  of  the book (over 200 pages) was a reprint of
        'Retief's Ransom'.

        Rechecking the book I found that front  cover  didn't  mention
        this,  nor  did  the inside blurb.  The back cover doesn't say
        anything about this until the very last line (right above  the
        barcode), where it says "Plus: the full-length novel, Retief's
        Ransom".

        Unless you haven't read 'Retief's Ransom' I would  advise  you
        to pass up this book.
