The stories were mostly published as short stories in Analog in the fifties and sixties. The collected story of the invasion was published as Pandoras Planet. General Horship's Headquarters Guard is the only unit in the Centran military awarded the Platinum Nova as a unit for bravery beyond the call of sanity. Christopher Anvil's stuff is a little on the lightweight side, but intensely enjoyable if you're in the right mood. If you like your space opera with a touch of humor, this is good stuff. chris Chris Kostanick decvax!vortex!ism780!ico!chris ucbvax!ucla-cs!ism780!ico!chris Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
