Reviews

[Adam Cleaver · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not too bad for a Fastback short story. The origins of the "SOS" group. However, like the other Fastbacks, there was just not enough to really get a good story going. It sets up an interesting premis and then ends it way too fast. Alright for a very quick read, but nothing great! (And not worth the £50+ I paid for it!!)
