Timeless in many ways. Enjoyable characters and perfectly timed action. This book is worth more than one read. - Goodreads It's primarily a humorous novel . . . ranging from intellectual quips to groan-worthy puns to broad political satire to sheer silliness. - Library Thing This is a phenomenal book that hits every element I'm looking for in sci fi. Fun adventure and social commentary that keeps you thinking. - Amazon

Author Information

Christopher Stasheff was a teacher, thespian, techie, and author of science fiction & fantasy novels. One of the pioneers of science fantasy, his career spanned four decades, 44 novels (including translations into Czech, German, Italian, Russian, and Japanese), 29 short stories, and seven 7 anthologies. His novels are famous for their humor (and bad puns), exploration of comparative political systems, and philosophical undertones. He always had difficulty distinguishing fantasy from reality and tried to compensate by teaching college. When teaching proved too real, he gave it up in favor of writing full time. He tended to pre-script his life, but couldn't understand why other people never got their lines right. This caused a fair amount of misunderstanding with his wife and four children. He wrote novels because it was the only way he could be the director, the designer, and all the actors too.
