Prostho Plus

This is a humorous Space Opera by Piers Anthony from 1971 that would be an entertaining break for a typical OAUP fan.

Your comment has no context at all and no link to click. No more text to read or comment than an anecdote.
In my opinion your comment just sends people out of the forum to search in a web browser about a work that is not mentiond on the body of text of your message, only on the title.

If you want to make forum posts that are more than an anecdote throwing, put more care on your posts. Is in the benefit of everyone.

I really enjoyed "Prostho Plus". I've read it several times. For those who didn't google the unusual title, "Prostho Plus," the general plot is that a human dentist gets kidnapped by aliens with dental problems and then ends up traveling the galaxy solving exotic dental problems, making friends, and trying not to get killed.

It is a space opera so the science is not as hard as Orion's Arm, but it's a good quick read. I admit to picking it up more for the cover but wasn't disappointed. I could relate to the everyman dentist trying to deal with aliens more than a lot of space opera heroes.
