The general theme of this collection is an ironic and sometimes bitter comment on man's stupidity to man. But Tenn's humor is irrepressible and bursts forth in a joyous political satire on the wars of the sexes titled "The Masculinist Revolt" - which may yet bring codpieces back into fashion. The Wooden Star contains the following:

Generation of Noah
Brooklyn Project
The Dark Star
Null-P
Eastward Ho!
The Deserter
Betelgeuse Bridge
"Will You Walk a Little Faster"
It Ends with a Flicker
Lisbon Cubed
The Masculinist Revolt

Stories like 'Down Among the Dead Men', 'The Liberation of Earth' and 'The Custodian' quickly established him as a fine, funny and thoughtful satirist.
