The Mucker by Edgar Rice Burroughs is frankly speculative. S.M. Stirling casually referenced it in his new book The Black Chamber — which promises to be a text guaranteed to make people’s teeth grind in a most ecumenical fashion — and apparently it’s supposed to be one of ERB’s underrated works. So, hey, I grabbed it, and I’ll read it after I finish the latest Eric Flint EARC. Why not?
And so, adieu to King David’s Spaceship.
Worth a look. Most people don’t associate ERB with westerns, but he knew the territory from his time in the 7th Cavalry.
