Like watching TV at bedtime without the sleep-disrupting effect of the screen. Perfectly amusing in its predictable way. It is a fairly pure example of the space Western---Mbot as loner cowboy rides into a frontier town and helps out some sweet kids in trouble with the local gang boss. Back in the days of Galaxy Magazine this kind of thing was an object of mockery, but it serves the purpose still. Looks like it's Fantasy-of-redemptive-violence-carried-out-by-an-antisocial-but-fundamentally-decent-oddball o'clock again.
