Description
"The Ordeal of Lancelot Biggs" by Nelson S. Bond is a humorous science fiction story first published in 1943. It features the misadventures of Lancelot Biggs, a spaceman whose exploits blend Wild West conventions with Space Age settings. The story is one of fourteen tales in Bond's comedic series, later collected in a 1950 volume. Reviewers noted Bond's shameless use of storytelling tricks and pseudo-scientific language, creating adventures that translate frontier tales into interstellar escapades.
