Bill, the Galactic Hero on the Planet of Robot Slaves - Harrison Harry

Popis knihy:

Bill is a farmboy on a small backward agricultural planet who is drugged, hypnotised then shanghaied into the Space Troopers by an unscrupulous recruiting sergeant named Deathwish Drang. After surviving boot camp, he is transferred to active duty as a fuse tender on the flagship of the space fleet in battle with the Chingers, a small reptillian race. Injured and with the fleet almost destroyed, he fires off a shot witnessed by the admiralty and is proclaimed a hero. As a reward he is sent to Helior, a city the size of a planet to receive a medal from the emperor. It goes terribly wrong for Bill who is now AWOL and considered a deserter after missing his transport. Through various adventures, he explores the city planet and its society trying to find his way back to his ship. Eventually he is captured and sentenced to prison. There he meets Deathwish Drang who dies after a Chinger attack. After rescuing some troopers, he shoots off his foot to get off planet and uses his knowledge of the system to become a recruiting sergeant. The story ends, like a snake eating its tail as Bill recruits more farmboys as potential troopers from another backward planet.... v angličtine, tvrdá väzba, obal, 236 strán, úvodná stránka popísaná /zľava/
