F/SF Though it claims to be Volume 1, this is technically a sequel. However, there's a complete summary of Bill the Galactic Hero at the beginning of this book, so it's a fine standalone read.I don't know where the title came from, since there aren't really any robot slaves anywhere. Bill of the ever-changing military rank is stranded with a few others on a planet inhabited by metal creatures, Virginians, Romans, and various characters from Arthurian legend. It is, in a word, silly. Extremely silly. But I would expect nothing less from Harrison. I don't think I could read multiple books in a row from this series but it's a nice diversion from time to time. The previous Bill the Galactic Hero book was awesomely bad. This on starts out well: "Bill, that's what they called him. They called him that because that was his name." I didn't realize when I started reading this series that only the previous book and this one are actually written by Harrison. The rest of them are actually farmed off to others, with Harrison editing them before publication. According to Wikipedia, Harrison later considered this approach to be a mistake. I think my confusion is at least partially because LibraryThing lists Harry Harrison as the author for the entire series. Overall I don't think this book is as good as the first one, and while its easy to read the style becomes annoying after a while. It was a quick read though. http://www.stillhq.com/book/Harry_Harrison/Bill_The_Galactic_Hero_The_Planet_of_... nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

The army made Bill the galactic hero what he is today - the perfect Starship Trouper, and proud possessor of two right arms and a lockerful of feet suitable for every occasion. Now he's been volunteered to join a suicide-squad run by Captain Cadaver to the well-known hell-hole planet of Eyerack. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
