Cold In the Light by Charles Allen Gramlich

I don’t generally like it when it’s layered on with a spatula and drowns every line. I prefer dark humor, and humor when it comes out of the circumstances and the characters.

And I, personally, am pretty difficult to please on the humor front. In my opinion it’s the most difficult emotion to create in writing. However, humor is difficult to write for even the most talented author. He’s best known for his “Stainless Steel Rat” stories but I’ve generally preferred other works of his, including “Make Room, Make Room,” which became the basis for the movie Soylent Green, and the Deathworld stories. Harry Harrison (born Henry Maxwell Dempsey, 1925-2012), who wrote SSGR, was a talented writer. They do, however, contain certain tropes that invite some writers to lampoon them. To me, Space Opera and Sword & Planet fiction (like John Carter of Mars) are the purest forms of sheer entertainment out there. Doc Smith in his “Lensman” series, which, admittedly, is not the best space opera ever written. Specifically, it seemed to parody most the work of E.E. It’s a parody of space opera, which is horse of a different color. Doc Smith in With a title like Star Smashers of the Galaxy Rangers (SSGR), you might assume this book is space opera.
