Description
Not many science fiction readers still remember Randall Garrett (1927 – 1987), an author that the world of sci-fi owes a great debt of gratitude to. Having written under a number of pseudonyms, including Gordon Aghill, Richard Greer, Blake MacKenzie and Darrel T. Langart, Garrett is best remembered for his contributions to Astounding Magazine, as well as other important publications during the formative years of modern day sci-fi.Garrett’s works often contained jokes, puns and all sorts of humorous situations blended in with sound, well-constructed and highly imaginative science fiction stories that blended fast-paced action and exciting adventures to thrill and inspire an entire generation of readers.The 1963 novel “Anything You Can Do…” features three different subplots woven together into a single story that will keep you reading from start to finish. The premise involves a crashed alien spaceship that hides on Earth, and for 10 years terrorizes the entire planet. Who are the strange aliens, and for what purpose do they kill people and steal materials on a periodic basis? No one truly knows. However, you will find the experience of finding out from the book and also learning how the other subplots – involving a pair of twins and a secret government project – tie in beautifully with the initial story.Randall Garrett goes to great lengths toward making “Anything You Can Do…” an exciting and entertaining story, and some critics have greatly praised the consistency of the story and its value in terms of originality. The idea behind the government project for creating a superhuman – a relatively new idea at the time – was particularly well-received by critics and readers alike.If you’d like a good dose of classic sci-fi combined with the characteristic and oftentimes addictive plot twists used by Randall Garrett, there is no better choice than to enjoy reading the exciting story in Anything You Can Do…
