Summary

A tale of space exploration interspersed with nail-biting action (or something very much like that).

A ripping yarn told from the point of view of them who went there. "I tried to imagine a situation where a cast of several, are in fact one and the same. An individual trapped alone in space surrounded by versions of themselves, each with their own separate opinions. If it takes a village to raise a child, it would at least take a handful to trek through space (even if only imaginary).

Captivating

I am a big fan of R D Drabble and The Ha’penny Toss did not disappoint! Thought provoking sci-fi tale with compelling characters and touches of humour.
Well narrated, I enjoyed the clear distinctiveness between characters.

Original plot. Brilliant narration.

An intriguing and cleverly written sci-fi story with original concept that explores the complex nature of a lone multiple-identity space traveler. Book was well narrated - clear and crisp.

Brilliant, witty and smart

A really enjoyable book, both intelligent and witty.

A cleverly told tale very reminiscent of and not entirely unlike the works of Douglas Adams’. (Intended as a massive compliment for this genre). I wholeheartedly recommend it.
