When I was young, I ignored the Perry Rhodan novels being published in translation. I was a bit of a snob and assumed they would be utter crap. More recently, I read the first few and fond them to be very entertaining. Of course, I've become fascinated with "retro-future" space opera, so they fit in well with my current intersts. I also enjoy the "Captain Future" novels I've recently read, so my opinions should be considered in this context.
To further impeach my value as a critic, I've also come to enjoy the Perry Rhodan movie "Mission Stardust", which actually has some good points.
Balluna Prospector?
ReplyDeleteMoon Prospeggtor?
I remember reading some of Perry Rhodan when I was young. Always loved the book cover art.

I never knew about Perry Rhodan until I lived in Germany in the early 1980's. They're a comic-crazy nation.
ReplyDeleteHee hee - I like Balluna Prospector! How about:
Moon Inflator
or Prune Inspector
