Graham Joyce. TWOC. PS Publishing, 2005.
This story will stick in the mind, with Joyce creating some eminently solid three-dimensional characters.
Eric Brown. The Extraordinary Voyage of Jules Verne. PS Publishing, 2005.
Whilst I have a suspicion that the 498 pages of the Mammoth Book of New Jules Verne Adventures may well never get read, I can confirm that the slimmer volume in hand was a most enjoyable read (concluding pun notwithstanding) in which Brown gives a convincing impersonation of M Verne. Certainly a better showpiece of Brown’s ability than his recent ‘Approaching Omega’
Brian Aldiss. Sanity and the Lady. PS Publishing, 2004.
A mellow, mature consideration of what it is to be human, which doubtless Aldiss, now in his eighties, feels can be done from the perspective of experience, rather than plot devices involving far-future forest worlds or generation starships.
