 ... mankind. A childless civilisation crumbles into decay as mother nature reclaims her land. However, there are some small enclaves of humanity eking out a pathetic existence. Greybeard is so named simply because he has a greybeard to his waist. He is early fifties and one of the youngest people left alive! He lives with his wife Martha in an enclave full of old people, well, older than himself.

Premium Review Greybeard - Brian W. Aldiss: Greybeard - You will have if you read this ! (437 words)

Greybeard. Author - Brian W Aldiss. I had seen this book around for a while but had never gotten round to reading it. I wondered how to write this review without spoiling it for others so I decided to put my dislikes first, then to go on to the story itself. The book starts off well enough but the flash backs to earlier days are distracting and can go on for 20 or more pages. At the 2nd flashback I skipped through 30 pages and thought about reading something else. So if you don't mind a book half set in the future and half in the past then you just might enjoy this book. The world has tested atomic weapons in space ...

The intricate, woven narrative makes for a fantastically complexing read That complexing read is at times a bit TOO complexing...

Fluently written, existing fans will like it Franchise is running out of steam, may concentrate too much on teen angst

Full of twists along with an unexpected plot. Brilliant change of scenery to a distant country. Perhaps a lack of humour as a serious atmosphere is maintained throughout the book

Great Read None.

Gripping Read. None

Simply, A Great Read None
