Someone recommended Starship Grifters to me here, and I won't talk much
about the story itself for fear of possibly spoiling it for someone.
I just want to say this is an example of the "over the top silliness"
school of writing. It's like the author was trying to imitate Harry
Harrison or Ron Gulart but without quite as much plot but just as many
puns. Recommended for the people for whom this would be recommended and
you probably know who you are. I found it a bit weak but if you're in
need of something like this it will do.
