His Master's Voice By Randall Garrett
His Master's Voice By Randall Garrett Kindle Edition Science Fiction Fantasy His Masters Voice Spaceship McGuire had lots of knowledge—but no wisdom. He was smart—but incredibly foolish. And, as a natural consequence, tended to ask questions too profound for any philosopher—questions like Who are you? His Masters Voice is a work by Randall Garrett, an American science fiction and fantasy author. He was a prolific contributor to Astounding and other science fiction magazines of the 1950s and 1960s. He instructed Robert Silverberg in the techniques of selling large quantities of action adventure science fiction, and collaborated with him on two novels about Earth bringing civilization to an alien planet. Garrett wrote under a variety of pseudonyms including: David Gordon, John Gordon, Darrel T. Langart (an anagram of his name), Alexander Blade, Richard Greer, Ivar Jorgensen, Clyde Mitchell, Leonard G. Spencer, S. M. Tenneshaw, Gerald Vance. He was also a founding member of the Society for Creative Anachronism, as Randall of Hightower (a pun on garret). The short novel Brain Twister, written by Garrett in conjunction with author Laurence Janifer (using the joint pseudonym Mark Phillips) was nominated for the Hugo Award for Best Novel in 1960. An inveterate punster (defining a pun as the odor given off by a decaying mind), he was a favorite guest at science fiction conventions and friend to many fans, especially in Southern California. According to various anecdotes in a tribute volume, Garrett was a renowned womanizer. He introduced himself to Marion Zimmer Bradley with an obscene Latin phrase which left her speechless and to a pregnant Anne McCaffrey with sly innuendoes which horrified her. Philip José Farmer recounted an anecdote where Garrett was punched by his then wife for having a pair of lace underpants in his pocket, and later ran naked through a hotel after being caught having sex with another woman in the wrong room. Frank Herbert said You could follow his movements around this creative Anachronists picnic by the squeals of the women whose bottoms he had just pinched. Isaac Asimov referred to Garretts offending Judith Merril enough that she emptied an ashtray over his head. This edition includes the original illustrations by Roy G. Krenkel.
