Reviews

[Charles · Rating 3 out of 5]

Another fun one from Charles Nuetzel, althoguh the credited author is ALbert Augustus, Jr. That's a pseudonym. A little more SF here than fantasy. The cover is not very good but it's an intersting story. Three galactic citizens crash on a savage planet.

[Joe Santoro · Rating 3 out of 5]

Sure, it LOOKS like a pretty cheezy book, and it is pretty formulaic... spaceship crashed on a unexplored planet.. they roam the jungle, get captured by natives... turns out there are Roman-ish city states, and of course, gladiators.

The hero fights, saves the girl, they fall in love, etc.

There was a 3rd 'main' character, but he was completely irrelevant... I assumed he was a red shirt, but surprisingly he made it through to the end,

There were some interesting bits, though... alot of discussion about slavery, and how many people just accept their lot without trying to change it, just because they think it would be too hard.. or even that slavery is OK if your treated well.

Then there was the 'atomatic' pistols, which cracked me up, too... I can't figure out if that was supposed to sound futuristic, or if it was a typo that someone liked.
