5.0 out of 5 stars Lightweight, fun stories from Sheffield, November 7, 2001

This review is from: Space Suits: Being the Selected Legal Papers of Waldo Burmeister and Henry Carver, Attorneys-At-Law (Paperback)

To start with, this is a collection of some stories that Sheffield has written over the years. In fact, I seem to remember reading a few of them elsewhere, although that could have been in a different Sheffield collection or possibly in Science Fiction Magazines. The stories all have to do with the two members of a legal firm many years from now. These guys have a tendency to get into (and out of) trouble, both on Earth and on many of the Planetary bodies in the Solar System. There isn't much science in these stories, so you don't need a degree to enjoy them, but they are just fun romps. Usually, pure, dumb luck is all that saves these heroes, although the rest of Humanity seems to think they know what they're doing.

A recommended read, especially for those who liked the MacAndrew stories.
