A Rebel in Time

A Rebel in Time

by Harry Harrison (Granada, 1983)

Nominally a paradox novel, A Rebel in Time was notable for bringing Harrison’s refreshingly liberal values to the field of adventure science fiction: a black army sergeant pursues a racist colonel back through time to the outbreak of the American Civil War.

Panned seemingly for not being Ghostbusters, Pixels in fact evokes much of the frivolous filmmaking fun so prevalent in the 1980s. When space invaders show up for real, Earth’s fate rests in the knob-twiddling hands of underachieving ex-gamers. What could be better?
