This routine is rather suddenly and rudely interrupted when an Earth space craft appears in the skies overhead and lands in the general vicinity, outside the active defence perimeter of the vast maze of course (things aren't going to be that easy), and Dick must choose whether to exact revenge by using his traps to impede their progress, or leave the future of his exile in the hands of fate, in the unlikely event that anyone makes it through.

The Day of the Triffids - John Wyndham

Tense, atmospheric, compellingly written

Dialogue feels slightly stuffy in places

The Last Continent - Terry Pratchett

some very clever mickey-taking of Australia and it's culture(?)

not very big on convincing plot-much too complicated for own good

Angry Young Spaceman - Jim Munroe

Comes with 3 decades of Brooks' experience

Maybe he's running out of steam?

The Long Price - Daniel Abraham

Some decent basic ideas

The writing doesn't flow too well
