Through Time and Space with Benedict Breadfruit
Through Time and Space with Benedict Breadfruit
In the 1960s science fiction scene, two writers decided to wage war on the English language, and won. This collection gathers 13 short tales featuring Benedict Breadfruit, Randall Garrett's answer to Reginald Bretnor's Ferdinand Feghoot, plus the original Feghoot stories that started it all. Each story is a tightly wound piece of whimsy: our heroes zip between alien worlds, outwit villains, solve crises, and deliver punchlines so terrible they're wonderful. The humor operates on multiple levels, satirizing classic sci-fi tropes while celebrating the sheer joy of a perfectly terrible pun. These aren't just jokes tacked onto stories; the wordplay is woven into the fabric of each scenario, making the endings both inevitable and devastating in their cleverness. Whether Benedict is saving a dying civilization or navigating absurd alien customs, the real star is language itself. Perfect for readers who think science fiction should never take itself too seriously, or anyone who believes the best stories leave you groaning and grinning in equal measure.
