Randall Garrett: Difference between revisions

* [[Feghoot]]: Randall invented his own variant, where the final line would be a pun on the name of another science fiction writer.

* [[Future Slang]]: "Backstage Lensmen" dials up the future slang common in the ''Lensman'' series to the point where none of the characters actually understand each other. QX, Chief!

* [[Horse of a Different Color]]: In the Gandalara Cycle, the only animals big enough to ride are [[Sapient Steed|presentient]] and [[Bond Creatures|telepathic]] pantherids called ''sha'um'' (which translates to "great cat").

* [[Humans Are Cthulhu]]: The [[H.P. Lovecraft]] takeoff "The Horror Out of Time" starts off as apparently a typical Lovecraftian tale of a first-person narrator having a mind-bending encounter amidst prehistoric ruins, but it eventually becomes clear that narrator is not human, and that the human race is the horrible creatures depicted on the walls of the ruins.
