Yeah, listen up fatso - this ain’t none of your high falutin’ rocket engine shit – this is a novel of VIOLENCE!
Actually, this book is cobbled together from a 1947 Astounding Science Fiction serial, and seems to be a fairly decent bit of interplanetary heroic fantasy, but I thought Mayflower-Dell’s somewhat unconventional attempt to sell it to the SF audience by accusing them of being pussies deserved to be preserved for the ages.
I don’t know how well it worked out for them, but I don’t recall ever seeing another ‘60s SF paperback packaged like this one; “so you think you got the stomach for it, four-eyes?”
