Keith Laumer

( 1925-1992 )

When I was growing up 'Doc' Smith, Kimball Kinnison, Clarrisa MacDougal, and Richard Seaton were and still are my 'Heros', but I have to say: "Retief, yeah Retief, Retief is the man." So where does that put his creator? Pretty high up there, you can bet. And, that's not even to mention all of Keith Laumer's other works that don't feature Retief. Great stories, great fun, great titles.

A literary risk-taker; for Reference see "Pime doesn't Cray" in the collection titled "Retief at Large".

Too bad Albert R. Broccolli wastes his time on a lightweight like James Bond.

-Lee Skidmore

P.S. Where do I sign up for the Corps Diplomatique Terrestrienne?
