Description
Keith Laumer wrote a science fiction tale that ran in Galaxy in February 1961, drawn by Ritter. Its head note says the general was bucking for his other star, and the miserable contraption bucked right back. Brigadier General Straut steadies his elbow on a kitchen table serving as desk. He levels binoculars through a farmhouse window at a bulky object canted at the edge of a wood lot.
Figures move over and around the gray mass. Straut flips the field telephone lever and asks Major Bill how his boys are doing. Since that box this morning, the major begins. Laumer, a former diplomat, wrote many military science fiction tales with a comic edge.
