Those John Grimes stories, by A. Bertram Chandler, are a lot of fun. I recommend them highly for the SF buff. I read them when they were new and today some of the story lines might seem a bit dated. Still I think the stories will hold up well because much of the story is about the people with the technology as a background just to make it feel fun.
To me those Grimes stories are some very under appreciated SF works. I really enjoyed them as a teenager when I first read them.
I was excited when I learned Baen was releasing them as ebooks. I bought every one of them as they were released. Haven't yet read them again but want to set aside a month sometime soon for just that purpose.
