A review by indrabar
Armageddon 2419 A.D. by Philip Francis Nowlan

3.0

If ever there was a book that needed some sort of MST3K commentary running behind it, this was it. I understand that it's a classic and for that, it deserves a certain modicum of respect. But beyond that? Boy oh boy, scifi - good scifi - that is, has come a long, long way. Or maybe, my generation just has trouble with the ooh-rah Americanism of books from this era. You know the type - the "we are American, therefore we are best, all others are stupid and strange-looking and weak" philosophy that seemed to die out somewhere in the seventies. I'm not saying the book was bad, persay, just that it was definitely a product of its time.
