3.0 out of 5 stars A very pedestrian book, June 21, 2001

This review is from: Soma Blues (Hardcover)

When I heard about this book, I was excited, since Sheckley is one of the few writers who writes decent comedic science fiction.

His foray into mystery is not a successful one. This book wasn't good or bad, it was just ordinary. There was nothing really remarkable about the plot or the characters, and I found it hard to get into this book.

If you want my opinion, stick to Sheckley's scifi stuff.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fast-paced romp through sex, drugs and stolen art, April 13, 1998

I look forward to each new book by Robert Sheckley, and have yet to be disappointed. This new novel in Sheckley's adventures of the soft-boiled detective Hob Draconian is a fast-paced romp, filled with ironic wit, intrigue and plot situations that are as bizarre as the characters that inhabit them. So put on your traveling shoes and read your way to a smile. Highly recommended.
