FROM BACK COVER

The object appeared over the Pacific, moving so fast that it was over Arizona before the supersonic shock of its passing was felt. It slowed perceptibly somewhere over New Jersey, and took only a small chuck out of the World Trade Center on its way between the two towers. By the time it reached 59th Street it had nearly stopped: it had just enough speed to clear Central park Zoo before plowing into the grassy meadow just beyond. An unwary nanny with a baby carriage was the only casualty. And then its doors opened. And Earth would never be the same again...

aliens were they?

Ahh,Harry Harrison, the mind behind the ingenius creations of Bill,the galactic hero and his many unlikely adventures involving feet and beer,not to mention that pillar of the criminal community,Slippery Jim digriz .In this book,which is more of a short story, there are a few parallels between the main character,Rob and the aforementioned Slippery.Except he's not not as funny or developed as well as he could be.It's all a bit out of date now,what with the pesky'Russkies' making a major showing,but all that aside I quite liked the book as I like Mr Harrison's style and I'm always up for a bit of daft sci-fi.All in all better offf getting some Bill,or Stainless stories.So funny your gut will bust with hilarity.
