Recensioner

My editor suggested I read this book. I am glad I did. I learned a lot about writing that I never learned from a regular University degree. A must read for any author looking to improve their writing to sell on the commercial market.

One of many writing books I read over three months. Good, but his other one's a bit better, I think.

One of many writing books I read over three months. I thought this one quite useful.

This is the likely the only novel by Swain. He was a US author who contributed several short stories to the SF pulp magazines in the 1940s-50s. This publication by Panther UK contains this novella and a short story by E. C. Tubb.

The Swain story is typical "man on dangerous mission" Thriller but set in a future society. It's a pretty good adventure with some clever future tech.

The E.C. Tubb story is called "The Predators" and is a boring tale about future Advertising Agency getting sued. (Did not finish)… (mer)
