pan28/100 The only reason I didn't DNF this after 50 pages is my respect for the author's writing. If you've read any Brunner, you know he writes serious, thought provoking science-fiction, so I don't know what possessed him to write this comic farce. Sadly it's not funny, there are quite a few painful stereotypes, the gay guards at the Vatican called the Swish Guards 🙄. The only amusing part was how many famous sci-fi writers names ⬇️
RamsFan1963 he could drop into the story. A surgeon named Theodor (Theodore Sturgeon), administrator Wrong Ghoulart (Ron Goulart), a world building company called Clifford & Simak (Clifford Simak) and a world wrecking crew called E. Hamliton & Co. (Edward Hamlton). The in jokes do produce a smile, but otherwise it's a hot mess. 2 ⭐⭐ #Read2025 5d
