Port of Peril...hokey, yet great fun,
This review is from: The Port of Peril (Ace F-294) (Mass Market Paperback)
"The Planet of Peril", by Otis Adelbert Kline, is something of a classic in it's genre, which is called by some "Sword and Planet", created by Edgar Rice Burroughs of Tarzan fame. Kline was an imitator, but an honest one, and his stuff is pretty good. It's the genre itself that is sort of hokey, you really have to suspend your disbelief. Also, since this was written originally in 1932, there are some attitudes, speech patterns and motivations that seem archaic today. So, unless you can deal with these things, this might not be the book for you. Nostalgia has a lot to do with why I like the book, since I grew up reading my Dad's Edgar Rice Burroughs, Robert E. Howard, and many others paperback reprints, and for that type of reader, you may like this one.
I did at first feel that I'd really out-grown this stuff, that it was just too hokey, but then I lightened up and actually enjoyed it.
