He was bored. He was there. What if...?

Anyone may someday get a case he/she can't quite get a handle on. At least CD gets to meet a number of very interesting charactersCritic commentJM asked me to look at this one. He said it was an approach I would appreciate, considering that I tried to write a story with the type outcome and couldn't pull it off. I had to turn it into a psychological thing that never worked. This was very well done. Moulton has a way to make oddballs human, and they...

Some of the antics of TR as the Pinnacle are beyond hilarious – particularly the description of the "accidents" that befall … but that would be giving it away.****½ BHHA group is trying to take over the casinos on the vacation worlds. Thing, Tab, and Kit can really make t6his a fun thing!

The crew investigate a world where there seems to be a cyclic growth, then destruction.Critic commentLately Moulton seems fixated in what he calls social dynamics and imperatives. This type of thing would be off-putting to me when looking for a work to read. Such works are most often rather boring and tend to preach.Not the case with Moulton. The story is rather nicely connected and very humorous at times. There is a sense of fun shared between the...
