Sull'Autore

Keith Laumer was born John Keith Laumer in Syracuse, New York on June 9, 1925. Before becoming a full-time writer, he was an officer in the U.S. Air Force and a U.S. diplomat. He is best known for the Bolo stories and Retief series. His other works include The Other Side of Time, A Trace of Memory, mostra altro Dinosaur Beach, and A Plague of Demons. He suffered a stroke in 1971, which negatively affected the quality of his work and his career declined. He was also a model airplane enthusiast, and published two dozen designs between 1956 and 1962 in the magazines Air Trails, Model Airplane News, Flying Models, and Aero Modeler. In 1960, he published How to Design and Build Flying Models. He died on January 23, 1993 at the age of 67. (Bowker Author Biography) mostra meno

THE FROZEN PLANET - and Other Stories di Samuel H. (editor) (Keith Laumer; F. L. Wallace; Allen Kim Lang; Daniel Ke Post

Two mildly engaging stories, one about the politics of time travel and the other about AI gone wild. The rest are so-so to mediocre especially the title story---an adolescent fantasy on a James Bond theme. OK if you like your pulp sci-fi corny and glaringly outdated.

While walking in Stockholm, he is kidnapped by agents from an alternate universe who want him to impersonate a local dictator. Biron is just the kind of suave swashbuckler we would d expect from the man who created Retief of the Corps Diplomatique Terrestrienne.
Laumer wrote two sequels in the 1960s and one more in 1990. They are on my list of books to read.… (altro)
