"...the most original voice to hit science fiction since Harlan Ellison."
The Free Lunch
The Free Lunch (2001)
Spider Robinson
"You get much more than you bargained for in this fun-filled-yet-serious novel. Spider's the antidote for entropy, the blahs, and the pernicious notion that humour and good grace are absent from the SF field."
