Perhaps the best reason to read _Galaxy Jane_ are the references that Ron Goulart has to a number of science fiction writers. The most obvious one is to the short, talented, and fiery-tempered Harlan Ellison. Here he is Harlan Grzyb, the birdlike alien author of _I Have No Perch, Yet I Must Sing_ and _Dangerous Birdcages_. He is zapped with a stungun in a story conference by movie executives who want to water down his screenplay about the famous space pirate, Galaxy Jane. He returns periodically to attack directors and other idiots. I counted passing references to Avram Davidson, Fred Pohl, Isaac Asimov, and Lawrence Watt-Evans. Doubtless there are more that I missed.
There are several scenes in _Galaxy Jane_ that are repeats of episodes from Goulart's earlier novel, _Suicide, Inc._. There are the assorted agencies that place a multitude of bugging devices in the characters' spaceship cabins. There is the hero who orders soda water from a robot bartender who claims it is a sissy drink. There is the amiable sidekick with psionic powers who can whop the bejesus out of villains at strategic times. There is the robot reprogrammed to commit murder. There is the policeman who tells the hero: "If I had enough evidence against you, you would already be in the hoosegow."
Goulart is long on style and humor and short on tightness or originality of plot. The plot in this novel involves a couple of investigative reporters in search of the mysterious Dr. Voodoo, who is smuggling the deadly drug zombium off the planet Barnum on the spaceship _Hollywood II_. The novel is not really bad-- Goulart rarely writes an outright stinker-- but it is not anything more than minor space opera, either.
