CHALLENGE COMPLETE. I read The Flying Sorcerers
.Beware: this was published in 1971 & the sexism is horrendous. Is the timeless sci-fi "advanced human meets pre-tech humanoid species, becomes stranded due to arrogance, & has to win over the locals before he can find a way to contact the mothership for a lift back home" theme. The twist is that it is told by a local peace-keeper instead of the human and/or the local protagonist. Exceptionally well-built world. The character names made me giggle & the campy humor is often entertaining.
Challenge Completed - I actually ended up reading The Haunting of Tram Car 015, by P. Djèlí Clark. Loved it! This is a short novella which I listened to as an audiobook. It's about the haunting of a tram car BUT this book is set in an alternate history setting of Cairo in 1912 - where magic and magical creatures have been released into the World.
Challenge Completed!! Read The ButterFLY Cabinet by Bernie McGillSee my review at https://topplingbookpile.blogspot.com...
