Bill is the perfect starship trooper—big, strong, not particularly bright, and somehow still alive. His latest assignment takes him to the mysterious planet Tsuris in search of a secret weapon. Unfortunately, the inhabitants have plenty of brains but not nearly enough bodies, making Bill’s own body a particularly desirable piece of real estate.
Harry Harrison and Robert Sheckley combine military science fiction, absurdist humor, alien adventure, and biting satire in another wildly irreverent chapter of Bill’s galactic misadventures.
A fun addition to a vintage science-fiction collection, particularly for readers of humorous and satirical SF. This volume pairs two major genre writers—Harry Harrison, creator of The Stainless Steel Rat, and noted satirist Robert Sheckley. Its colorful vintage Avon cover also gives it strong shelf appeal for collectors of late-20th-century science-fiction paperbacks.
This is the Avon Books mass-market edition, ISBN 0-380-75662-5. The supplied cover identifies it as Volume 2. Bibliographic records date the Avon edition to May 1990. The cover artwork is associated with Michael W. Kaluta and Steve Fastner.
