Customer Reviews

A read for tikling those with humorous wits

Though the book deals with Science Fiction, its purpose is entertainment. Entartain it does. Dickson mixes up the wits of a married couple that serve as Earth's representatives with the rest of the galaxy. He creates a new genrea called Humor Sci-fi. It's surely a pleasant read for any sci-fi fan.

Dickson at his very best

I have been a fan for...well more years than I will confess to...lets just say...I own the original print of The Dragon and the George and let it go there. This is one of my favorites of his and is truely a must read. I hope he plans many more adventures for the Parents...and Rex.
