The Adventure of the Peerless Peer by Philip José Farmer

2.0

Really wanted to like this more than I wound up not liking it. Alas, this adventure, if it may be called that amidst exposition, antiquated and vulgar descriptions hinging on xenophobia and white supremacy (truly, maybe, not deliberately, but certainly very striking. I was never totally certain Farmer wasn’t being satirical, but the fact is I was put off more often than I was amused.), and not much sleuthing in what kicked off as and sputtered to a long-winded conclusion as a pulp noir jungle adventure drama with less sleuthing than the Holmes banterings with Watson would have led you to believe, was not… my cup of anything. “Not unreadable” is all I really should or could say of this.
