My Favorite Author. Red Blooded Americans fighting Brain-Stealing alien slugs. No moral ambiguity. No Social Significance. Yankee ingenuity and a good strong right to the jaw is all that is needed to defeat the evil aliens.
This is my kind of science fiction. I could read a book like this every day for the rest of my life.
The Brain-Stealers: About 60,000 words. 1947.
Finished in one day. Lately I’ve been reading about 80 pages an hour. I have to slow down, I think, and enjoy the experience more.
