The Red Tape War (1991) by Jack L. Chalker, George Alec Effinger & Mike Resnick
Requirements: ePUB Reader, 200 KB
Overview: In designing their book as a round robin, Chalker ( The Return of Nathan Brazil ), Resnick ( Second Contact ) and Effinger ( When Gravity Fails ) seem to have been more interested in presenting the next author with a challenge (”Write your way out of this!”) than they were in continuity, plot or character. Millard Fillmore Pierce (most names are pseudo-significant, such as the battleship Mahatma Gandhi, captain Nathan Bolivia) appears in five different guises, each a member of a different species from a different parallel universe; all of them speak English and most of them intend to take over the human Pierce’s galaxy. That none succeeds is largely due to red tape: so many forms must be filled out in order even to fire a shot that battleships carry hundreds of bureaucrats to support each soldier. What could have been light entertainment is defeated by the authors’ arch, feckless comments to one another–with discussions on writing the book included as part of the book. Only a blindly dedicated fan will be pleased with this collaboration.
