Product Description
FROM THE CRIME TO THE RIDICULOUSFrom the offbeat but razor-edged imagination of Spider Robinson: stranded time travelers; squabbling cosmic warriors; reincarnated rock stars; blind starship pilots; monsters both human and alien; tomorrows formed by today's trends--this Spider weaves a web of wonder.Sound profound? Nah! Herein we've got a partially-disembodied Brooklynite looking for his, er, bottom half, a past-tense-ignoring player of a certain New York crap game from 1930 running loose in the present, a compendium of the silliest weapons history never had, and plenty more. The warped and the way-out combine in a book that by any name would be...really cool!

Jo Miller (USA: CO) (2008/10/22):
This book is full of Spider Robinson's short stories. And it was ok. Lots of drug use and sex, not for young readers. The stories that I liked best were By Any Other Name and his series of newspaper articles called The Crazy Years. Most of the stories were ok, and some were kind of strange. It wasn't bad, but I don't think I'll actively seek out more of this authors work, although I do have some of his other work here at home on Mt. TBR that I'll probably read
