Logic Named Joe

Altruistic Space Pirates, Nuclear-Powered Djinn, A Time-Travelling Kangaroo-and More... Three complete novels of humorous adventure, one of them a Hugo Award finalist, plus a trio of witty short stories with the distinctive Leinster touch. The Pirates of Zan-When a young man is jailed unjustly, he is given a secret offer-in return for help in escaping, he must shake up the staid galactic establishment. He succeeds beyond anyone's wildest expectations, becoming the deadliest do-gooder in the galaxy. Gateway to Elsewhere-Suppose that somewhere the world of the Arabian Nights is real, including very powerful and dangerous djinns, who are nothing like Aladdin's big blue pal. A man from our world wouldn't have a chance against them ... or would he? The Duplicators-A planet with machines which can duplicate anything would be the wealthiest world in the galaxy, right? Wrong. And unless the hapless voyager who's trapped on the planet can find a solution to its problem, his voyaging will be over-permanently. Plus three short stories, including "A Logic Named Joe," an uncannily prophetic story of home computers and the internet-written in 1946!Leinster, Murray is the author of 'Logic Named Joe ', published 2005 under ISBN 9780743499101 and ISBN 0743499107.
