REVIEW:

In a modern world where we travel seems to take a huge chunk out of our day, having a book that you can dip into with great writing, tiop notch authors alongside a good price seems like a dream come true and for me, Solaris, is a publisher who delivers on this.

Within this book, author and editor Ian Whates presents the readers with a plethora of stories that will suit all tastes and also gives reader the cracking opportunity to try authors that they may not have had the possibility to beforehand. All round a cracking offering and one that will, with the solid prose alongside pace, generates a book that was a pure joy to read. Great stuff.
