This review is from: Kipton at the Martian Games (Paperback)
The 14th novel in the series has Kipton solving a murder at the first Martian sports games.
At conventions of SF there are many discussions on should the two genres of mystery and science fiction be combined? The answer is yes, if it is done well. Many attendees forget that authors Andre Norton and Robert Heinlien, who brought so many into the fold of science fiction, were writing this type
of story in the fifties and sixties.
Mr. Fontenay does it perfectly, while he also puts the fun back in this type of work. Though the series is geared toward younger readers, anyone can read these charming novels and enjoy them.
