Summary

The Wessex Foundation, an electronic think-tank, brings an alternative reality to the participants. Only memory eludes them, for in Wessex nothing is constant except the castle. It stands, solid, a beacon, a gateway between centuries.

Excellent tale of fuel realties

Chris Priest's early story of mind experimentation and it's unexpected consequences is dazzling and prophetic.

A dream that didnt work

Would you try another book written by Christopher Priest or narrated by Caroline Lennon?

sadly no

Would you ever listen to anything by Christopher Priest again?

maybe if it were recommended by someone I trusted

Would you be willing to try another one of Caroline Lennon’s performances?

no, I did not enjoy listening to her and frankly she put me off the book more than anything else

You didn’t love this book--but did it have any redeeming qualities?

not really

Any additional comments?

give it a miss if you like what I generally like as you will be disappointed
