5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent old sci-fi, June 5, 2009
I absolutely loved this book and recommend it to every sci-fi person I know. The author is excellent and the story for this small book (around 120 pages) is well done. A fascinating story of the planet TEXAS taking over the rest of the decadent and dying human-dominated galaxy: very well done indeed!

Gloriously silly -- one of my favorite obscure books, May 22, 2006
This review is from: For Texas and Zed (Paperback)
..
Texians take on the Galactic Empire!
See the wonderful Blink drive, invented by Billy Bob Blink!
Ride a bucking airors [1], roundup those meacrs (sp? = meat critters)
Great fun, probably Zachary's [2] best. Actually quite a number of his appealingly
pulpy space-operas have a Western feel, & are under-appreciated. All long
OOP but not too hard to find. But start with "For Texas and Zed". It's
spectacular.
Read on, pard --
"Pistol Pete" Tillman
[1] Think of a flying Ski-doo, generally steered with one hand,
with a cold Lone Star in the other.
[2] "Zach Hughes" is Hugh Zachary's pulp pseudonym.
