Abstract: He was just plain Bill, enrolled in a correspondence course for a career as Technical Fertilizer Operator down on the farm--until a recruiting robot turned his head with visions of bright nebula lights, snappy red uniforms--and a cup of deep-space knockout drops...and Bill suddenly found himself aboard the Empire Space Ship Christine Keeler, fighting the Empire's war against the lizard-like Chingers. But an act of accidental heroism won him the Purple Dart (and an all-expenses-paid trip to fabulous Helior, the aluminum-plated Sin City of the Empire)--and that's when Bill's adventure really began... Science fiction, American literature.
