The author takes us on a journey, sometimes it's enjoyable, sometimes dark and dystopian. Sit back and hold tight!
Once again, the author has produced a book of short stories with eclectic and varied subject matter. Some I enjoyed, others not so much. The story about Hitler was very interesting and plausible. I found some stories a little confusing, (Jigsaw), but I must admit I do like a proper ending. The prologues before each chapter are almost a story in themselves. They explain how the story came about, but don't always help in explaining what happens. There are stories of alien invasion, (through iPhones), dubious space travel and many futuristic things. The stories are of varying length and are very well written and easy to read. The author takes us on a journey, sometimes it's enjoyable, sometimes dark and dystopian. Sit back and hold tight!

This book is an absolute diamond with each short story contributing to the overall sparkle!
This book is an absolute diamond with each short story contributing to the overall sparkle! ‘Places To Visit On The Way Back’ is a clever, clever collection of short stories written by an author who is a master in perceptive and sensitive writing. He touches and explores many topics: relationships, war, religion, science fiction etc. with clarity and honesty. Throughout, the characters are strong and plausible. Each story is given a prologue to help set the scene for the reader. Twists and turns abound and I found myself thinking about many of the stories long after I’d reached their end. I really do hope this author writes a novel as he is very skilful.
