3.0 out of 5 stars
Great classic, VERY poorly transcribed,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Black Galaxy (Kindle Edition)
The book deserves five stars. The transcription, however, renders it almost unreadable. No wonder that other reviewer felt he should offer the author a hint. If you thought it was a modern work, you'd naturally think it needed editing in a big way. Not only is the formatting painful and the text full of typos, but the science is hideously outdated (it was first published in 1949).
If you're familiar with Leinster's work, you'll know these are not his errors. But because of them, this is very hard to read. If you're considering this as your first Leinster, I cannot strongly enough recommend that you start elsewhere, or with a different transcription of this book. This novel is a fine sample of his work, but not in this hideously mangled format.

The Black Galaxy,
By C. S. (Ferndale, WA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Black Galaxy (Kindle Edition)
I am going to do the author a favor and recommend that he have his work edited before submission. With major editing, the book might be a readable story. I could go no farther after Chapter 7 and had to give it up.
