A review by aaronmjnoy
The High Crusade by Poul Anderson
3.0
In 1345, as a Lincolnshire village prepares to head to France to fight in the Hundred Years War, an alien scout ship lands on their own mission of conquest. Although superior in technology, they underestimate the fighting spirit of merry old England.
This is a very playful and silly novel, which surprised me as the previous Poul Anderson novel I read was a quite hard sci-fi physics type book. The guy obviously has a lot of range. This was a fun short little thing. It reminded me a bit of Edgar Rice Burroughs' Barsoom stories.
