![]() There is some bizarre association with 'planets' in the mind of the main character, Tower, and there appears to be some association with scent. After reading the book, I still don't understand the whole planets metaphor that the book is based on. I’m taking that as a confirmation that he will review it *beams* As he said. Nine Planets has some interesting ideas, but also some poorly developed concepts. Trelane encounters the USS Enterprise after attracting the starship to his planet. Until last night, that is, when he emailed me to say that he had skimmed through the book and decided that it was, and I quote “Definitely review-worthy! Watch this space.” Art by Jonathan Petersen and Greg Theakston. He doesn’t like it and is just letting it fade quietly away. Then he went quiet for some weeks, the sort of delay that makes you think, Hmmmm. That sort of publicity is absolute gold so I was delighted. I gave a copy to a reviewer on a (reasonably) large Australian newspaper some weeks ago and he promised to read it and possibly write a review in his paper if he thought it was good enough. ![]() ![]() People are still buying it and enjoying it too (!), so I’m of the opinion that it’s going to be a slow burn rather than a sudden quick flame. However, I haven’t forgotten Nine Planets, even though I haven’t said anything about it. I’ve been away for a long time, I’m sorry, with work, some new projects, a little bit of holiday and other things. ![]()
