5.0 out of 5 stars Great reading, Drake is a real master., April 15, 1997
By A Customer
I loved this book from front to back! The way Drake describes in detail the workings of the Starliner and its crew is fantastic. Every world that is visited is a new treat. Drake goes so far as to detailing the color that street lights burn and the different way the local gunpowder behaves. Do yourself a favor and read this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Kill an alien, fu#* a blonde, December 29, 2003
By Lady Lorelei "tarotgoddess.net" (Siler City, NC United States) - See all my reviews
This book always brings a smile to my face. It's the first Drake book I ever read, after hearing Dave criticize Kuttner for writing "Kill an alien, fu#* a blonde" stories, because that's essentially what this is. It's also a sort of first foray into space opera predating Drake's Lt. Leary series by many years. A good romp through a great hotel on jets!

2.0 out of 5 stars More like a screenplay, October 29, 2008
By Bob Fish (Fredericksburg, VA United States) - See all my reviews
If you have something else to read go ahead. The book has its good points but jumps from vignette to vignette without good flow. The hero is too moody, and his personality inconsistent.

I am sad that an artist of such caliber would stoop to concealing a crotch novel in a space tale. This one even involved bestiality. Sad. Read more
