Love his work. If you haven't read his three Fuzzy novels, find them. An omnibus of the three has been published and should be easy to find.

John Scalzi just published a modern retelling, a reboot it has been called, of the first book.

Randy, I thought of your post earlier in the week when I ran across this cover art. Several of his books are on the Kindle for reasonable prices. I purchased a crime novel called MURDER IN THE GUNROOM but I will grab the Fuzzy novels very soon.

The title of the omnibus is The Complete Fuzzy and is available new on Amazon. Murder In The Gunroom is one I covered for Forgotten books one week.

Another book I liked by him was Space Vikings.

Randy, I saw that review of Gunroom and added the title to my TBR quite awhile back. I've read more titles that you have recommended than anybody else. James is the close second.

Charles, SPACE VIKINGS is a great title.
