This Rocked

Forgotten Planet was the first Murray Leinster book I ever read. I got the book in fifth grade and still have a copy twelve years later that I enjoy reading. The author was a master story teller who could wrap the reader up in worlds of incredible fiction and fantasy. Not only do I highly recommend this book, but I recommend any other books by him as well.

I read this book in 1956 while aboard ship in the Navy. It did what school had not been able to accomplish. I was captivated by the story, which filled the spaces of possiblility. I almost never read before this book, and have been an avid reader of not only Sci-Fi, but all written material since.

Fantasy Classic

This is a well-written fantasy about a group of people stranded on a distant planet. The plot, diction, usage, and characterizations of this author are world-class.
