Nor let the modish painter shirk

To only call Wizards, Aliens, and Starships engaging would be a real understatement--it is a delightful, funny, and immensely interesting romp through science and fiction.

It is also a reminder of the simple thrill of applying science to the world around us, real or imagined. A new classic.
