This collection of parodies has not aged well. There's a conspicuous reliance on humor involving drunkenness, sex, and the female anatomy, only some of which can be justified as exaggerations of elements present in the works being parodied. It says something that I laughed harder while reading the foreword than in any of the parodies that followed. The one that worked best for me, foreword aside, was "Lost Event Horizon", possibly because the parameters of the parody dictated a straight-edge hero and an absence of female characters and the author was consequently obliged to come up with some actual jokes.
