A grand old tale, well worth reading,
By The Mystic Eye Of The Hipster (Murfreesboro, TN United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Hostage of Zir (Mass Market Paperback)
L Sprague De Camp created the Krishna series, of which "The Hostage Of Zir" is but one example, as a modern version of Edgar Rice Burrough's Barsoom tales. Drawing on his own vast experiences of travel in the Middle East, De Camp creates a more practical view of another world, and a vastly entertaining one. De Camp's sly sense of humor shines through every page of the entire series.Being a hero is one thing. Being a tourist guide, to a bunch of spoiled, self-destructive louts is very much harder! And getting a bunch of tourists back alive, through lynch mobs, obtuse bureaucrats, & kidnappings may be more than our hero can handle! Every fan of Golden Age Science Fiction should have the complete Krishna Series on his bookshelf. The Hipster gives it a Thumbs Up!
