Review # 1 was written on 2009-05-29 00:00:00 Sonny Keophimane The first story, "Catastrophe Planet" illustrates the Laumer philosophy: * Any man who flattens himself against a door is invisible. * Heroes will always unerringly wander in the optimal direction, even when lost. There's a gadget to explain this, but the phenomenon begins before the gadget appears. * Heroes never give up, and always win. * Most hero ends up with a unique and wonderful girl, devoted to him. The others don't seem to mind -- they often have supertanks as consolation. "Worldmaster" is along the same lines, but here the model is that the hero need never do the smart thing, because he's gutsy and the author is on his side. When confronted by 3 men with guns, with guards outside, spit in their eyes! You'll win through eventually, because the author insists, and you're half cybernetic anyway. To escape from a jail, just wait until the guards/assassins shows up and beat them up. Don't worry. Be happy! "The Day Before Forever" is a rumination on the risks of immortality and power. Again, blind luck is enough to ensure our hero (eventually) defeats all possible barriers and saves the day.

Review # 2 was written on 2011-01-30 00:00:00 David Worthington This is a collection of several dystopic stories. The concepts behind the stories were all very interesting. However, some were not very fleshed out and most of them were alpha male, men better than women crap. I wish they were better.
