Che la parola fantacongresso non vi tragga in inganno come ha fatto con me: non si tratta di un congresso spaziale o similari, è invece un neologismo per indicare una "convention" di quelle che negli States abbondano. Non vi tragga, similmente, in inganno il fatto che questo romanzetto da due lire sia stato pubblicato da Urania -e poi tutti lo sappiamo, Urania non era proprio sintomo di qualità in tutte le sue uscite, anzi altalenava e altalena parecchio da un albo all'altro-, questo NON è un romanzo di fantascienza. Si tratta invece di un blando tentativo di mescolare supereroi e investigazione da police procedural, quindi un giallo (giallo sbiadito) in un contesto con mantelli e nomi altisonanti.
Scritto male, tradotto male, sviluppato male. Interesse da parte mia nullo. 2 stelle risicate.… (more)
