Once There Was a Giant

Rating:
Summary: Not his best
Review: This story is "okay", but not great. I would suggest you read it if you have a great liking for Laumer already, or if you have a particulary keen interest in the history of science fiction. This book has none of Laumer's wonderful humor to it, and I truly had to slog through parts of it. The editor did something odd to it as well, creating a few logical and printing errors in the edition that I read. It is similar to one of Laumer's other books called "The Stars Must Wait" in tone, etc. There just wasn't enough humor or fantasy in this one to keep it "fresh" for me.

If you want something FUN by Laumer, try World Shuffler, The Great Time Machine Hoax, or perhaps a Retief book.
