This review is from: End as a Hero (Mass Market Paperback)

This book is a true turkey. It's about bug-eyed monsters called the Gool who attack human spacecraft psionically -- making the crew go bananas -- and the brash, invincible hero who saves humanity from these nasty ole chupacabras. It's almost a parody of itself -- truly painful to read. It makes the cheesiest episodes of Star Trek TOS look like Shakespeare by way of comparison. Laumer, the author of the Retief and Bolo series, can do a lot better than this one. I suspect he was under a deadline. At least it's short.
