The Green Odyssey is an uproarious hell-bent adventure story combining fantasy imagination and science with a liberal dash of humor. It is in the best tradition of adventure science fiction a swashbuckling tale of a resourceful spaceman who is however uneasily aware that he may have been miscast. Fortunately he has the assistance of a large gorgeous energetic and adoring female who is supremely confident of his ability to handle all comers. With her help that is.Alan Green was not exactly a hero. In fact he liked peace just as well as the next man. Not that he was really afraid of that crazy hot-blooded hound-dog Alzo or even of the hound's gorgeous owner the Duchess Zuni-who was also hot-blooded (to say nothing of the Duke). After all these things were understood on this backward violent planet and a man could manage provided he was alert twenty-four hours a day.
