What the authors do for fun

I have to assume this is what Mr Harrison does for fun. compaired to his other works this has to be a toungue in cheek excercise. The plot twists are so outragous that the author must be saying to himself as he writes it. well this will confuse everyone.

Good no-brainer

This is a good book for when you want to read something that has a plot and characters and all that literary stuff, but you don't want to have to actually think.

My Biography

If you haven't read this, but have read any of either author, then you haven't hallucinated anything yet.It is a frivolous romp through a sad universe that seems populated with familiar faces by two of the great experts in the genre of humorous SF.Read it or be forever the way you are. (Not that it will change anything permanent. Just a few yucks and a strange longing for a second right arm - even if the colours don't match.)Filled with in-jokes that only a fan would get, it is a feast for the initiated.
