So far this is giving me a bit of a Heinlein feel (more like his non-juvenile stuff that came out right around the juvenile period) and I'm liking that. Carl V.

I finished "The Galactic Derelict" some time ago and it was a good read too. Just never got around to writing a review, because I moved onto something else. You know how that goes I'm sure. Hope you enjoy "Star Born"<br />Chimeradavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14373236451090168388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1589188530348035004.post-28392542378150186522012-10-22T17:41:15.206-07:002012-10-22T17:41:15.206-07:00This is one I look forward to reading.

I'm enjoying it very much. Carl V.

There's a whole series of these Time Trader books, but I think I skipped all of them.<br /><br />In general, I thought her books were fun, but very light-weight. Of course, that wasn't unusual for classic science fiction.<br />Bill Garthrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08552459555883204060noreply@blogger.com
