5.0 out of 5 stars A genuine gem of a series., 24 Nov 2007
By Mr. Glenn Cook (South Cave, near Hull UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I've been reading Science Fiction for 40 plus years now and in my opinion these are the finest series of books that I have ever had the pleasure of reading. Briefly the series revolves around a professor who shoots his body into space only millennia later to have his brain revived in metal body complete with tentacles and 4 legs! His new friends the Zoromes who spend their unending lives travelling for 100s of years through the Universe visiting Planets and systems.

Sounds weird? Yes but take the time to discover this series for yourself and be seduced by the simple art of good story telling coupled with a brilliant concept with a strong story. This better than Star Trek/Lost in Space/Battle star galactica combined!
Written back when Science fiction was great the planets visited, aliens encountered and problems solved are truly delightful. I read and reread the series countless times and they have that rare quality. They entertain you yet do not demand your brain to stretch to complex enigma or political situations. We see from the eyes (all 8 or them) from the Professor. The fact that he is a scientist/philosopher/humanist gives that wonderful insight into the worlds he visits. The nearest analogy I can think of is Herge's Tintin. Tintin interacts but he is the everyman than we can be. We become the professor and that's were the series really kicks in. You finish the book with regret rather than relief escapism at its finest.

5.0 out of 5 stars Number 3 in the Wonderful series,, 3 April 2009

This book 3 in the series. Firstly don t worry if you read them out of sequence. The professors tale and origin is retold in each of the subsequent 4 books (Which for me as a regular reader annoys the hell out of me I want more adventure writing!)(*and yes I realise the irony with this cut and paste review!! This edition contains 3 stories as most of the books do.
Professor Jameson arrives back the mother planet of the Zoromes after millennia touring the stars (Metal Zoromes are non aging!) We meet the organic Zoromes and learn how when the die they are transferred to their eternal bodies... free of emotion and sexual urges) Zor it seems has been playing God and have helped an inferior race to emulate the Zoromes. The Mumes are led by a mad dictator who Hitler like wages war on the Zoromes.
The second story is the war itself where our hero has crash landed on Mume and hides as a Mumite. Yes sounds weird BUT it is fabulous. The war ends.. Guess who wins. And the final story gets us on our fabulous travels again to a planet that is riddled Swiss cheese like and our heroes get lost in the Labyrinth of the title.
You finish the book, as with all its partner series, with regret rather than relief escapism at its finest.
