Homing Instinct towards the weird...
Dec. 8th, 2006 04:19 pmSo, at this point we are all familiar with my love of crappy fantasy books... But I've decided to switch genre's this week. Now I'm reading crappy sci-fi books. Namely a series called Censored by Earth Command by David Kuzminski.
This is rather like Anne McCaffery's Freedom series, but less classy... Much less classy. A town gets lifted from Earth and dropped on a different planet in the middle of a Lizzar/Centaur war. Sounds okay so far. Current technology and weaponry in the middle of a primitive war should turn the balance ... and it does. That part of it is rather good. However, where the lack of class comes in is with the fact that the "fog" that was used to transport them reacted with the chlorine in the school's swimming pool and dissolved all synthetic items in the possession of the humans... Plastics were gone. Elastic was gone. A hell of a lot of clothing was gone. So we have nekkid humans (mostly kids) running around fighting Lizzars with the Centaurs backing them up. And of course, the inevitable happened. A society of free love (excluding those inclined towards their own sex) built up.
If you skip over the parts concerned with the free love society, it's a rather interesting book. Of course, it's a very short book, but interesting none the less.
Honestly, I wonder how the hell I find these books. I mean, I must have a radar for this sort of thing. Ah hah! That one is shite. I'll read that one. I wouldn't mind but the cover is classy. *sigh* Oh well!
