Comments on: Beyond Pluto by James Moran https://www.freedomfiction.com/2024/06/beyond-pluto-by-james-moran/ An eclectic mix of all flavours of genre fiction Thu, 13 Jun 2024 16:53:51 +0000 hourly 1 By: Bill Tope https://www.freedomfiction.com/2024/06/beyond-pluto-by-james-moran/#comment-36397 Thu, 13 Jun 2024 16:53:51 +0000 https://www.freedomfiction.com/?p=3074#comment-36397 I didn’t say I didn’t like the story. The nuts and bolts of skillful writing are definitely there. You just pulled a fast one by inserting a story I wasn’t prepared for. It has a Douglass Adams vibe, which is not to be taken lightly. Regarding other genres, if this were Raymond Chandler, then Philip Marlowe’s ears would spin like the blades of a helicopter, and he would soar over San Francisco. It was fun.

It completes a trilogy of the crazy wild fiction following “The Speckled Rooster” and “When Dr. Jekyll and His Wife, Sybil, Visited A Marriage Counselor”. Regarding this particular scifi fiction, If you have never read a “shaggy dog story” and don’t know what it is, well, “Beyond Pluto” is a great example of it. Even Isaac Asimov indulged in one and other writers in other genres have had a go at it. Refer link.
