It's funny though--it was a tough book to find. Somehow it was in the erotica section of a sleazy used bookstore.

Or...so I'm told. By...by the guy who sold it to me at the...uh...church booksale. Yeah, that's the ticket, the church booksale. All the proceeds went to, um, orphans. Or something. Yeah. Well,

::clears throat, cocks head, pretends to hear someone calling::

What? Oh! Okay, I'm coming!

Listen, gotta run. Anyway, you should see the cover on this thing. It's something else.

Bye!

Ali was the Greatest. We all know that. And, I can't pop a single memory of an SF novel about the guy (even loosely analogistic) out of my memory stacks...

If there were, that would get my vote.

[Frown] Nobody seconded Mouth Hungry. Do none of you recognize good SF when you see it?

If the nominations were still open I would nominate the entire War Against the Chtorr series by David Gerrold. Specifically, A Matter for Men and A Season for Slaughter.

And I really liked Battlefield Earth. Definitely not greatest of all time, but certainly up in the top 100.
