Science Fiction, parallel universes in Name that Book (Febbraio 2017)
*Lost Dorsai* disambiguation in Bug Collectors (Giugno 2012)

Recensioni

Un abbastanza originale interpretazione del classico *invasione aliena* in cui l'autore sposta il focus su aspetti psicologici e mentali, tirando in ballo - più che astronavi con armi potentissime o tecnologie futuriste - poteri telepatici, empatici, caratteriali... Un tentativo un po' incerto di proporre temi un po' più seri e profondi rispetto alla space opera classica e sempliciotta che (forse) andava per la maggiore in quegli anni. (ma ricordiamoci però che si parla di 45 anni fa...)
Romanzo nel complesso gradevole che si legge bene ma la vetustà e una certa immaturità sono piuttosto evidenti.… (altro)
