Reviewers and Previewers
“I was completely absorbed in some of these situations – the atmosphere and the so-believable characters – the messes they find themselves in – or twist out of.”
“My wife loved a couple with real “comeuppance” endings.”
“Surprised I was so taken up with this style of humour and setting – Excellent.”
“Fascinating peeks into very possible futures and equally likely presents.”
“5* because it’s basically the best sci-fi I’ve read for years.”
“These stories – throughout the three books I’ve read to date – set a new standard in Sci-Fi. I’d say they were ultra-modern, but they’re in the mode of the Masters – which I see a couple of other reviewers have rightly called Trevor Watts – master storyteller.”
“These superb stories have brightened many an evening lately. They could be the future of SF – New Classics, indeed."
“This writer captures the mood and the characters perfectly, in such different situations.”
