Hah! Thanks for the prod; it's on my re-read list now. You really need some familiarity with the worst excesses of mid c.20 US space opera to appreciate some of the jokes, but the thing works admirably as gag-stream, as a satire on SF, or even as social commentary - the ending is splendid :)
I was also thinking it was a mistake to go back to this while also half way through a re-read of Doc Smith's 'Lensman' series. Harrison just does it a darn sight funnier.
