*proudly bears Colonel Philistine Rank!* Actually.. no, I've never read it. :) And yes, I know how much of a foundation this novel was. Double yes on "I want to read it some day"!
I should also proudly say, with great geekness, that I was the one guy in my Traveller posse years ago who recognized Gully Foyle in that one supplement GDW published, where they listed stats, no names and generalized descriptions of various famous SF heroes. :)
Ahhh, yes, I remember that. Simultaneously a check of SF literacy and a clever way to avoid being sued. I remember that I recognized Gully Foyle and John Carter, but didn't recognize Kimball Kinnison, since I didn't get a chance to read the Lensman Saga until after it came out.
Indeed I have. I truly adored that book. I'm looking for my copy.. and asked Dad to go through /HIS/ umpteen-thousands of books looking for my copy or his. ;)
If you liked that, I'd also suggest 'Tuf Voyaging' by.. I think it was George RR. Martin? I really think you'd like that one, too.
And here I've never even heard of Alfred Bester. The biggest event in my recent sci-fi literature past was getting one of the new Dune prequels signed by Brian Herbert and Kevin Anderson.
I'll have to add The Stars my Destination to my growing reading list, between reading papers, anyway. *small grin*
