Review in Sci Fi Bulletin
The critical reviews for my Marco Polo book have been great (so far) but I am particularly pleased with the positive review in Sci Fi Bulletin today. It doesn't hurt that the reviewer, Brigid Cherry, is a respected writer on Doctor Who.
"the strength of it lies is in the extremely detailed unpacking of the extant material, including the soundtrack and especially the sound effects, in creating the sense of travelling across unknown, dangerous, and sometimes frightening landscapes, and the camera movements, editing, and mise-en-scene in creating a sense of space, period, and location [...] The kind of fan who loves collecting detailed information on every aspect of production will find much of interest here."
So yes, I am well chuffed.
