This is one of those amusing fantasy novels set in the late-60s age of grooviness and recreational substances. Parallel time tracks become twisted together and our two hippie heroes, accompanied by two coincidentally gorgeous young ladies employed by a circus from a nearby time track, must solve the problem, save the world, etc. This volume is sort of a sequel to, or perhaps revenge for, Chester Anderson's The Butterfly Kid. IMO The Unicorn Girl is much better. There is a lot of humor, most of it intentional (some things are funnier now in retrospect), and most of it works. This is not literature by any means, but it's pretty good entertainment, especially for those of us who lived through that time. The sexual innuendo is quite mild by current standards. There's some great pseudo-calculus explained near the end that reads like a send-up of some of the more self-serious "hard sf" books of the time. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

"Settle in for a trip to a wonderful half-real, half-imaginary era." -- Richard A. Lupoff Mike and Chester, the alien-fighting hippies of The Butterfly Kid, have found their way from New York City to San Francisco -- but that's just the first step of their odyssey. When Mike meets the girl of his dreams, he and Chester join her and her circus friends on a quest in search of a lost unicorn. Psychedelic hilarity ensues as they travel through time to encounter Victorian nudists, fire-breathing dragonettes, and live dinosaurs. Touted as a "brain-blowing science-fiction freak out" upon its 1969 publication, The Unicorn Girl is the second book in the Greenwich Village Trilogy, a shared-world scenario written by three different authors, all of whom appear in the books as characters. Dover Publications returns this cosmic adventure to print for the first time in nearly 40 years, along with its predecessor, The Butterfly Kid, and its sequel, The Probability Pad. This edition features an appreciative new Foreword by science-fiction author Richard A. Lupoff. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
