Overview

Guy from Earth

A pastiche of the Sword and Planet books of sc-fi's pulp era, Guy from Earth is also the story of one guy's journey from bumbling, inept, normal guy to less bumbling and inept but still unlikely hero. Sometimes the bad guy, sometimes the good guy, sometimes just the fall guy, he's Guy from Earth.

  • Interestingly, it would also appear to encourage a greater resemblance to Vance, (as compared with the Goetia stories), as he's a wanderer discovering strange places, customs, adventures.
  • Last name Backpfeifengesicht; a German compound word for a 'face that should be slapped'. Only half-joking.
