Walking to Aldebaran

Walking to Aldebaran - Adrian Tchaikovsky

by Adrian Tchaikovski

 

This is written in a present tense monologue, detailing the experiences of a man lost in a place on Mars he calls The Crypts. His goal is to survive and hopefully to find other humans.

 

I have to admit that the writing style didn't engage me. There were humorous moments and one liners, but it wasn't enough to make me want to follow the main character through endless tunnels with nothing really happening much of the time.

 

Other reviewers seem to love it, so I'm glad it's not the first thing I've read by this author.
