The Man in the Maze

9 January 2021

First published in 1968, The Man in the Maze by Robert Silverberg is certainly a product of its time. Manly men cavort across the universe with women there for decoration and to have sex with. If you can get past […]

The Little Ship of Horrors

1 July 2020

I picked up this cracker of a story and listened through it in a couple of sittings (life annoyingly getting in the way as it does). The author, Vee James, lists his favourite authors include Terry Pratchett, Douglas Adams, Eric
