October 21, 2011November 18, 2011 Mark Watson 0 Comments Dave Hutchinson

A vivid opening image of roiling clouds about a Point Zero, and the story and explanation unfold nicely.

Subterfuge. Edited by Ian Whates, Newcon Press. 2008

Ian Whates latest collection under the NewCon imprint comes in a variety of flavours : paperback, hardback, and special (extra stories!) limited-edition, signed hardback. It is the latter of these reviewed here. And Whates has provided another strong collection, bigger than previous volumes, and worth looking out for. The standard of writing, and the invention in the stories, is almost uniformly excellent, and is strongly recommended
