Reception
Greg Costikyan reviewed Their Majesties' Bucketeers in Ares Magazine #11 and commented that "Bucketeers is an appealing novel, for three reasons: first, the character of the aliens, who are very human while remaining very alien; second, the Victorian character of their civilization, and third, the apparent verve and enjoyment with which Smith writes."[1]
Reviews
- Review by Jeff Frane (1981) in Locus, #246 July 1981
gollark: Possibly? You apply somewhere.
gollark: Basically, send one query to get a session token of some sort, and then repeatedly send queries involving that to get the remaining data. But DNS doesn't guarantee message ordering, obviously, so you need to have sequence numbers and reassemble somewhere and ask for retransmits and all that.
gollark: It would be *especially* annoying to get good performance, but I guess you could just not.
gollark: I know roughly how. It would just be annoying to implement.
gollark: No, this is actually hard.
