Review # 1 was written on 2018-06-18 00:00:00 Peter Rasmussen A downward spiral. Started at maybe three stars then slid to two and then went roaring into even less. I'll admit I must've been influenced by another review I read stating this book was "hilarious". Only in the sense of hilariously stupid. If the book was campy it might've salvaged a star; however, the book takes itself seriously in all respects. It's supposed to be hardcore science fiction but only manages a juvenile corniness. Therefore, it's one-star. I didn't like it.

Review # 2 was written on 2008-12-23 00:00:00 Michael Kushla The Green Odyssey is about Alan Green (get it? Alan Green? Green Odyssey?), an Earth man stranded on a primitive world that's largely a giant, level grassy plain. He has a nagging wife and a side job as the gigolo for a pretty but unwashed Duchess. When he gets wind of a ship crashing near a far away city, he sees his ticket home. The book is largely a journey, with Green as a passenger on one of the wheeled wooden ships. Along the way, he encounters crazy creatures, leftover tech from an ancient race, and a little cat he named Lady Luck. While I enjoyed The Green Odyssey most of the time, it wasn't up to the standards of the other PJF books I've read. The main character wasn't all that likeable and not very believable at times. You can definitely tell it's one of PJF's early stories. It lacks the polish of the later ones.
