Review:

What a nice light, concise effort. Originally published serially in a 1950s pulp mag, you can see by the ending that the editors likely told him to wrap it up.

Very science based and no laser fights back then. They were pioneering the genre, and like Bradbury or Asimov, it holds up well over time.

Characters are likeable, relatable, and believable.

Really enjoyed this one as a nice break from Dickens and Homer and Rabelais.
