No the Docs best,
By
This review is from: Spacehounds of IPC: A tale of the Inter-planetary corporation (Pyramid SF, N3300) (Mass Market Paperback)
Ususally the Doc Smith books are bad science, good fiction. And I REALLY wanted to like this book, as I think of myself as a fan of pulp sci-fi... But this was just SO bad I couldnt find anything redeeming about it. The science was of course badly dated, and embellished badly, even for the time it was written in. The fiction was wooden and uninteresting. The dialogue was so over wrought with gitchy dated phrasing as to make you reread some parts to figure WTF he was talking about. OH! And I think I got my fill of "All X" (or some minor variant) by page 50, but it didnt keep it from showing up 3 times a page till the end. This was so bad I found myself skimming and just trying to get it over with. Unless you are a hardcore completist, and E.E. "Doc" Smith has gotten on your radar or authors to read everything of, go ahead and skip this.
