___________________________________________ "Ernst Vossoff and Karl Nimmitz: How boldly the names of those two hapless thugs and misadventurers resonate throughout the universe, even unto future and past eras!" This is an entertaining collection of linked stories, first published in the late Science Fiction Age. They were all new to me, and are agreeably silly. Other readers' reactions to humor are famously unpredictable, but I got quite a few chuckles, reading IDIOTS. The stories worked better than I would have expected, really, given their ramshackle construction and comic-book logic. Castro is a Sheckley fan, and it shows. Cautiously recommended to SF humor fans: "B+". The opening quote is from Paul Di Filippo's fine review at scifi[dot]com, which Ammie won't let me link you to, but I bet you can find it for yourself. Worth the effort Happy reading-- Pete Tillman
