How can anyone mention STAR SMASHERS in the same sentence with E.E. Smith PhD.?
I grew up on Doc Smith and while much is dated (Skylark was decades old when it
was first printed, I believe) no one has yet captured sense of wonder quite
like doc. I would no more think of satirizing him than I would of breaking
stained glass church windows from the 13th century. I realize some would, but
I consider them subhuman. Sorry, thats how I feel about it.
