Review "[AN] ABSURD, ROLLICKING SPACE ADVENTURE".-- Publishers Weekly Excerpt from Book None of them could have told you how long the attack went on for, but it seemed like several lifetimes to the three figures huddled on the Captains Bridge. The noise, the vibration, the crashing and bucking of the giant Starship went on and on. . . . When it was all over, they waited and then stood up, trembling and shaking. The first wave was returning to the main fleet; meanwhile, a second wave was peeling off. "Here they come again!" yelled Dan, and he and Lucy ducked down once more beneath the console. But The Journalist remained standing, with a curious expression on his face. Lucy and Dan braced themselves for the gunfire . . . but it didnt come. Instead there was an odd "rather unmartial" banging on the hull of the ship. "Yassaccans!" muttered The Journalist. Both Lucy and Dan assumed this was another alien expletive and remained under cover, but then The Journalist nudged Dan and said: "Look!" Dan cautiously put his head above the console and peered out of the window: the second wave of spaceships had pulled up all around the Starship, and an army of short and stocky spacesuited figures were swarming over the hull, hammering and welding as they went. "What the blazes?" asked Dan. "Theyre repairing the damage," explained The Journalist. "Yassaccans are like that! They hate injuring hardware!" Meanwhile the voice boomed out over the loudspeakers again: "We shall recommence our attack as soon as the first damage has been repaired! If you do not surrender, we shall board and dispose of everyone we find!"
