Title: Brilliant Science Fiction for the Fun Loving Reader and Literary Critic Alike
Review: The Last Starship From Earth (1968) by John Boyd Upchurch - 182 pages - rating: 8/10What do you get when a Poet, Historian, Social Critic and Scholar of Literature decides to write the classic Science Fiction story ? You get The Last Starship From Earth.I must be honest and tell you that I almost quit reading this novel after the first 60 or 70 pages. It seemed nothing more than word games and poetic gobbledy goop. By the end of the fifth chapter nothing of any interest or consequence was happening or had happened. The author seemed more intent on demonstrating his vocabulary. Then suddenly the story takes off and I couldn't stop reading it.Many classical science fiction themes are incorporated effectively and intelligently into the ensuing plot which will go places I guarantee you will not expect but will thoroughly enjoy !Claus Kellermann2006 April 17Sci_Fi_Researcher@yahoo.com
