John Brunner was a startlingly prolific British writer of science fiction, whose reputation rests on four acclaimed books he published from the late 1960s to the mid 1970s. However, earlier in his career he wrote many SF adventures which while less ambitious, are a rich source of pulp excitement.
This episode focuses on two of these many novels. The Atlantic Abomination and Sanctuary in the Sky were both published in 1960 by Ace Books. They represent only half the novels Brunner published that year through the same US publisher. Listen on for a brisk look at these two fast-paced books, little-remembered but accomplished genre exercises from a giant of British SF.
