Wade Jerry Pournelle Curtis,
By Alan S. Rosenberg (the great American Desert-- Seattle in the summer!) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Red Heroin (Paperback)
This book was written under Dr. Pournelle's pseudonym of Wade Curtis, which humorously is the name of a character in Footfall, written by Dr. Pournelle and Larry Niven. I enjoy reading things from various stages of an author's career and in this case also from a bit of a different genre. I actually bought this book, from the Amazon Marketplace published under Dr. Pournelle's name, but when I finished the book and went to order the 2nd book in the series, I could not find it under Dr. Pournelle's name, so I bought `Red Dragon' written by Wade Curtis. Certainly this is a short novel compared to later works and I'm struggling for a description--not as sophisticated isn't quite right,,, it almost reads like it was written for kids, as I know Dr. Pournelle and I believe Drs. Heinlein and Asimov all have written books for. in addition there is some political content that shows both how well Dr. Pournelle `got' things and how while things have progressed in many ways, people are still people. All in all `Red Heroin' was a good read on many levels, so much so that I ordered the 2nd book, `Red Dragon' last night; certainly not a classic work like the `Mote' series, probably a good candidate for a Kindle release.
