pkiwi's review against another edition

Could have done with a bit more exposition earlier on because several 'revelations' fall flat for lack of knowledge, but otherwise a funny and solidly engaging space satire that mixes the heydays of the Wild West with the question what happens to the starship pilots after all the space battles have been fought.

I am vexxed by this author. I have read two of his books now and I know I should thoroughly enjoy them. The dry British wit is right up my alley. I have no issue with the subject matter. The comparison is exhausting and over done, but, yes, the writing style did put me in the mind of Douglas Adams whom I adore. But, still, I really did not like this. I just have trouble figuring out why.
