I found this collection of sci-if stories to be an adventure as much by the author as for the reader. Chris Morton seems to be experimenting with different styles, much like an artist who is trialling everything from the traditional to the abstract, avant garde and frankly, sometimes weird. The stories are all in the sci-genre, not surprising given the title!
For the reader it is interesting to view this early stage of the artist’s work with the combination of his various stories and styles. It is all down to personal enjoyment and some of the collection I found absorbing, often leaving me wanting to know what happens next. Perhaps some of these will be developed further in the future. I hope so. Be warned that with this eclectic mix of style and storylines there may be some that you hate or you may be concerned about the author’s mental state, as there is, certainly in the first stories in the collection, an underlying preoccupation with death. Overall though this book is certainly worth a read and it is a privilege to be in at the beginning of what one hopes is a long career of penmanship for Mr Morton
