23rd voyage. Lands on planet where inhabitants can be atomized to get through the night or even times of boredom and be recreated. Onto 25th voyage.

Silly story of Ijon looking for his penknife. He ended up on a planet where the Catholic priests were attempting a mission for some aliens. They took everything quite literally and tortured the priest so he would become a martyr.

Twentieth Voyage: a time travel story. Starts cool with futer Ijon showing up on a Chronocycle and telling himself to takeover directorship of a time traveling institution. But it degrades into some weird multi project thing where the scientists are accidentally creating natural disasters and famous people. Ehh..

14th voyage was good. Landed on a planet where meteors fall regularly. Aliens have clones en masse to replace those killed and a type of building gum that quickly replaces building destroyed by the meteors.

13th voyage: a planet where you are nearly drowned everywhere on efforts to become a fish? Almost every story leads Ijon into prison for unknowingly commiting a ridiculous crime.

12th voyage was lame. Quick time machine story about rapidly advancing a bug civilization from the stone age to a democratic republic.

A crazed computer taking over a planet seemed like a fun idea. But it divulged into a team of dudes faking the whole thing. Disappointing....

Eighth voyage - what a silly dream. Homo sapiens rising up from old alien food and a sneeze.

Time travel in gravity vortices! This guy needs to get along with himself
