The narrative diction is intermittently reminiscent of Jack Vance'' (John Clute/Encyclopedia of SF, 3rd Edition).

''Gallun was a writer - along with Edmond Hamilton and Stanley G Weinbaum - whose writing reflected the expectations of magazine readers of the early 1930s; and like Hamilton (Weinbaum died early) his development after 1945 was tied, for good and for ill, to those early days. Late novels, like SKYCLIMBER (1981), set on Mars, and Bioblast (1985), about the early years of a mutant superman, may therefore lack some essential degree of appeal to more recent audiences because they are crude, because they avoid sex (despite a speculative focus on biology), because their protagonist...
