Summary

Welcome to Unspace Eric Sanderson wakes up in a place he doesn't recognise, unable to remember who he is. All he has left are journal entries recalling Clio, a perfect love now gone. So begins a thrilling adventure that will send Eric and his cynical cat Ian on a search for the Ludovician, the force that is threatening his life, and Dr Trey Fidorus, the only man who knows its secrets.

great fun

A little bit like a Douglas Adams book. Very well read, funny and amusing. A lot of fun.

so much cut

I realised it was an abridged performance but so much was cut that it lost the flare, wit and genius of the original book. I really wanted an unabridged version but its not available on Audible

A romance with some sci fi bits

Was alright, felt like a kid’s book at times except with cringy love plot over everything. The surreal bits were good but id rather just read a Borges short story tbh
