Summary: Why? WHY?
Review: They should have known better. I figure if three authors want to write a book in turns while getting pissed and trying to screw each other by writing the next into a corner, sure. They're big boys, right? Just don't go around and RELEASE the damn thing. Oy. This is bad. Painfully bad. If I'd paid for it instead of being given it by a friend, I would have probably been angry instead of just dissapointed.

Summary: Terrific Light-hearted SF
Review: This book is a terrific collaborative work. Effinger, Chalker, Resnick take turns writing chapters, each more imaginatively absurd than the last. Hilarious!

Summary: terrible, couldn't finish it,bought it because it's signed
Review: This is the only book by Jack Chalker that I could not finish-it was that terrible! Of course, he wrote it with 2 other authors, so maybe THEY were terrible. Every chapter is written by a different one of the three, and it just gets worse and worse, dumber and dumber. Maybe they'll make a movie of it starring Jim Carrey.

Summary: A writing duel
Review: Three science fiction masters each take turns trying to write the other two into a hole. An epic space opera revolving around a bewildered human, several various and assorted aliens, and a buxom space cowgirl named Marshmallow are pawns, riding the edge of one cliffhanger after another as Chalker, Resnick and Effinger move them about an absurd verbal chessboard.

A truly unique concept in novelization, and completely unconcerned with conventional storytelling, this is one of the funniest (and strangest) books to be written by an American in recent memory.
