Summary: Collaborative Effort Produces Mixed Results.
Comment: Dr. Demetrios Demopoulos, a scientist from the US circa. 1950's, has created what turns out to be an inter-planetary travel craft...and lands in what turns out to be an inter-galactic war. 'Fish out of water' is a term that applies here.
Dr. Dimension is a collaborative effort between John DeChancie and David Bischoff that works fairly well on many levels but comes up short on other ones.
On a whole, it's a very amusing and well written novel. Part Buck Rogers, part The Nutty Professor and part 80's Sitcom.
The execution of the book is very well done but it seems like you can tell which parts were written by which writer, or another way to say it is it doesn't feel fully homogenized. Whether it's the reader's imagination or reality, it does detract from the novel slightly.
However, on a whole, the book is a wonderful story. Dr. Demopoulos is a lecherous old scientist who is like a cross between Albert Einstein and Danny Devito in Taxi...an all around great character.
I'd reccomend both this book and it's sequal Dr. Dimesion: Masters of Spacetime to anyone who enjoys a good sci-fi book and particularly to anyone who is partial to old radio serials as the story passes an, obviously, intentional likeness to them.
