Summary: Not his best effort....
Comment: ...and that's what really [bothered me] about this novel. I was [pulled] in by an amusing title concept and having read some of his other work took it on faith that this novel would be as enjoyable as all of his others....WRONG....
Since wasting my hard earned $$ on this cookie cutter assembly of short stories, I've learned to read at least the first chapter of a novel instead of just the back cover. Lesson learned...

Summary: Davey Crockett in Space (without much Space)!
Comment: As many others probably have been, I was roped into this one by the pretty cover, which has nothing to do with the actual story line. Our poor misinformed Terran heroes, facing the mighty Dilbians (too big to be Hokans, and, really, to be funny) on their own planetary turf, still emerge victorious in several incredible (and slightly implausable) "Rescue the Fair-Maiden" scenarios. But, as an evidently retreaded pulp collection, it's still a decent read for a bad weather afternoon, or, even better, as a late night "read yourself to sleep".

Summary: Too big to be funny
Comment: The three storrys in this books are neither really funny like the "Hoka" tales, for that the bears here are just too big, nor is there much suspense. Oh, granted, they are all well written and not unpleasant to read. However one would wish that Gordon R. Dicksons last book were more memorable.
