I was compelled to sit and read it from start to finish! Never having read this type of work before I was a bit wary but decided to go ahead and give it a try. I'm so glad I did! A very well written book indeed that holds your interest from start to finish. - Carol ArnallSeemingly drawing from a number of science fiction influences, The Festival On Lyris Five is an immensely enjoyable read. The protagonist Richard Barrett puts me very much in mind of Han Solo with possibly a dash of Lister. The characters have depth and the dialogue is quirky. One could almost imagine dining at the Zodiac Castle then stopping off at the Martian Arms for a Nortons Mindwarp or two. With its intriguing settings and seamless plot, The Festival On Lyris Five is a charming novella worthy of a sequel. Of special note is the surprising (but credible) twist in the tale which, of course, you will have to read for yourself. - Kate BoardmanIf you like a little bit of sci-fi, fast paced, could not drop until finished, then you will love this offering from Nick Daws. Reminded me of a glimpse of Star Wars and definitely on a par with George Lucas. Well done, Nick, would have loved more. - Lesley GalstonWhy wait any longer?
