Smashing Link posted:I think he did the Stainless Steel Rat series, which were pretty funny. Oh yeah. I love Peter F Hamilton for his hard sci-fi, but the Stainless Steel Rat series are just straight-up space cheese ridiculousness and a great ride the whole time. With other great titles like Star Smashers of the Galaxy Rangers, or Bill the Galactic Hero he's just a fun writer. I thought he did the story for a graphic novel back in the 80s about an AI train called RRAAG or something, but that seems to have been a fever dream.

zoux posted:Def con four isn't a huge deal. Certainly not sun bleached spaceman skeleton bad. There's a throwaway scene in that movie shortly after they get off the satellite. One of the main guys looks down an alley while they're trying to get somewhere else, and there's a cannibal just carving a slice off a dead guy's rear end like an easter ham. That little 30 second scene hosed up young me for like a year.

I was at a flea market that had a big bin with a ton of 1960s era pulp sci-fi novels in it. They were wanting two bucks a book so I said gently caress it. If they were like 3 for a dollar, I'd have snatched a ton up.

Hard Scifi? Peter F Hamilton? Who literally does not understand how a rudder works? Who believes spinning superconductors in a magnetic field gives you a free energy device? Sure, Fallen Dragon is a great piece of fiction, but the dude is as hard as key lime pie.

It's still pretty pulpy but I liked them. I read the Al Capone one and didn't like it anywhere near as much.

syscall girl posted:As a poor porcuswine farmer I Stainless Steel Rat was about the con man/gentleman thief who got into all sorts of shady adventure hijinks. Also a very good series and pretty funny but not straight-up cheeseball parody like Bill. I should reread some of those, I was so young when I read them that there were probably some jokes that flew way over my head.

I'll give it a shot, I need something to read having finally managed to wade through the Malazan Book of the Fallen series. hosed if I know what was happening half the time in those books, but I enjoyed them nonetheless.

Harrison started writing and publishing the Stainless Steel Rat stories in the late 50s so they're rather quaintly dated now. The same with one of my other favourite scifi series, Spider Robinson's Callahan's Bar. One of Robinson's early Callahan stories has a "time traveller" who has been out of society for a while and is having trouble adapting to all the changes that have happened including this dumbass they have for a president these days which turns out to be Richard Nixon which rather specifically dates that particular story. Edit: there's pile of books all over my room and I just checked and there's a bunch of Harrison and Robinson books within arm's reach
