This is one of the fun adventures from the middle years of science fiction. After the Golden Age and before the New Wave.

3.0 out of 5 stars a little too easy
Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2011

This is closer to short story than novella length, and the way the plot unwinds, it seems more like the great beginning of a novel than a complete work on its own.

Still, the main character is engaging and the plot is fairly interesting, though there's not much action or real danger.

If you're a fan of classic sci-fi, this is a work you can enjoy on your lunch break; you may even find the almost misogynistic ending amusing.

5.0 out of 5 stars McGuire or (MG-YR-7) a spaceship by any other name
Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2012
This is a well written science fiction classic from the 1960's. That's the important bit to remember(the 60's). The writing is very good, nice character development and well plotted. Randal Garrett did quite a bit of writing for Astounding magazine (pulp science fiction magazine popular during that time) consequently many of his stories had to meet specific expectations and limitations . This may account for the somewhat hasty feel of the conclusion of the story. Overall the story is good example of the writing from the 60'after all, that decade did give us the first man in space (Yuri Gagarin)Intel's design for the first microprocessor on a card and the beginning of ARPAnet the precursor to the internet. Times were changing and were exciting, science fiction was coming of age.

3.0 out of 5 stars a spaceship name mcquire
Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2011
Just When the story started to take off , it ended abruptly . I did not realized that this was a short read . The reasons why the Space ships acted out was explained in two paragraphs , like the author was in a hurry to finish the book . The Characters were believable and jack , the girl, reminds me of a relative of mine. That is why I wanted more story .

Another will written fantasy Sci-Fi space opera adventure thriller short story by Randall Garrett about a space ship named McGuire. It is the 7th space ship in the series and there are a number of people who want to control the space craft. I would recommend this novella to readers of fantasy Sci-Fi novels. Enjoy the adventure of reading 👓 or listening 🎶 to Alexa as I do. 🏡🔰😤⌚ 2022
