Mustn’t let this thread shuffle off it coil. As I’ve said elsewhere, health issues and need to write some odd biog stuff have got in the way. Still reading though. Worked my way through all the classic 40s/50s short stories of sci-fi greats Fredric Brown and Henry Kuttner. Tried novels by the latter. Can’t believe how a bloke who can do such great short tales can be so bad on doing novels. Since then have got hooked into time-travel fiction.
Always loved reading this subject. Understandable, I suppose, for one who saw the very first Dr Who live on black-and-white telly in 1963. As a time-travel fan (tempusitineranturphile?) I’ll try anything. Have done the four-book Time Amazon series by Doug Molitor. Hmmm. Disappointing. Overloaded with US-themed stuff, mainly early US politics and film stars. Also did The Time Travelling Tourist by Nick James and Rabbit Hole by Garrett Smith. The former is just plain bad. The latter had some promise but cannot find the next three in the series. Seems to have disappeared.
Now reading Schroedinger’s Dog by Allan Brewer. Promising. For one thing it is set in the UK (at GCHQ) and does not seem to have been written with a film or TV series in mind! It was published fairly recently (2018?) but feels like it was written in the 50s. Has a Quatermass feel to it. Only just started it so will put up more when I get further in.
