This review is from: The Flying Sorcerers (Paperback)

This book is really a great work if you realize what it is, comical sci-fi. And it is not a Niven story but a Gerrold one, if you liked The Trouble With Tribbles episode of Star Trek then this for you.

To dananbethany> It's a pun, As a mauve. Asimov.

5.0�toiles sur 5 An overlooked treasure, Mars 26 2004

Par	Lynn Bodoni "lynnbodoni" (Fort Worth, TX United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: THE FLYING SORCERERS (Mass Market Paperback)

This is one of the funniest SF books out there. I've got an old tattered copy, and I will order the new edition when it comes out. The book is full of cultural, SF and fandom references. Some might be a little dated (for example, the symbol of the sheep, the horned box, is a reference to a TV with antenna, and how many people have seen one of THOSE lately?), but overall, this book holds up very well.

To answer another reviewer's question would be a spoiler, but anyone who wishes to know who Purple was based on can email me at my nickname at hotmail.

Par	Dana "Dana" (SC) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: THE FLYING SORCERERS (Mass Market Paperback)

I love this book - it is funny. I have had the book for at least 10 years but I have yet to figure out - what is Purple's real name? It has something to do with "as a color, shade of purple-gray" and "mauve" but I cannot piece it together. Any help would be appreciated!

4.0�toiles sur 5 Light, fun, tongue in cheek SF
Light, fun, SF story that will mean more to SF fans in general and Asimov fans in particular. I highly recommend it. I read it every few years and enjoy it each time. Read more
