The best novel of an alien society; Smith's second best book, Feb 27 2000
By Michael Morrison "morrisonhimself" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Their Majesties' Bucketeers (Mass Market Paperback)
"Their Majesties' Bucketeers" is a remarkable creation: Science fiction meets Sherlock Holmes, with a fascinating alien psychology thrown in. Beautiful! It's Smith's second best book, after "The Probability Broach." And it is the best book I have ever read of a totally alien culture. Wonderful! I think L. Neil Smith had a lot of fun writing this, and I know I really enjoyed reading it, every time I have read it. Highly recommended. Needs to be republished immediately!

4.0 out of 5 stars
A good read, Jan 2 2010
By M. Shepherd "Midwest" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Their Majesties' Bucketeers (Mass Market Paperback)
Smith makes a good attempt at picturing aliens. His aliens are different enough from anything found on earth to be believeable.
The alien society is a bit too much like human society. But it`s a better effort than most make in doing this sort of novel.
And since there are no human characters in the story, the human reader needs to be able to identify in some way to make it a good
novel. If he made their culture too alien it would be more of an academic speculation than a novel.
Overall it`s a good book that you will enjoy reading.
