5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Book, March 5, 2002
By 
Max Behrman (Sarasota, FL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Galactic Odyssey (Paperback)
This book was great. I've never read a book by Kieth Laumer before, but after this I'm sure I'm going to read more. It all starts when a poor, sad, underdog is walking and talking about his misery. After this he wanders off to a mysterious farm and goes to sleep in a silo... or what he thinks is a silo. He actually just put himself into a spaceship. He wakes up to hear the rest of the crew talking about what to do with him. This book was very descriptive, and I would recommend it to any SciFi fan. I thought this book was incredibly well written. I was able to put myself in the main character, Billy Danger's, shoes. If you liked the X Files or Star Wars, you're going to love Galactic Odyssey.

5.0 out of 5 stars A feel-great book. Fun to read from the first word., December 23, 1999
By 
John McClendon (Alabama, United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Galactic Odyssey (Paperback)
I've read many books of various authorship and many of Kieth Laumers own, but this one is, by far, my favorite. It's a feel-great story about an underdog who persevere's despite overwhelming odds and comes out on top in the cheerable end. I've recommended this to friends who have agreed that it is a heck of a book. It is just so well told that you feel like you're there. I've even used the main character's name, Billy Danger, as a gaming alias for the 10 years since I first read Galactic Odyssey. Keith Laumer was truly a wonderful storyteller.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wish this story was made into a movie, February 14, 2008
This review is from: Galactic Odyssey (Paperback)
I was a kid in junior high back in the late 1960's when I first read this story. My older brother was a big Sci Fi reader and left this one behind in a stack of books when he went into the Marines. I had trouble reading and understanding some of my brother's books, but this one I could get into. Like the oddyssey of Homer, this story has a great series of adventures and dangers which lead up to the big confrontation at the end.

Now its a book I would re-read just for fun.

I have wished over the years that someone would make it into a great space-adventure movie.
