The Man on Table Ten: A Mysterious Science Fiction Tale

Didn't know what to expect from this, but after listening to a couple of epic length novels, I rather fancied something shorter and without a ridiculous number of character names to remember. This fitted the bill perfectly.

A couple of small errors, in the recording, led to two sentences being repeated (I didn't note the times though, sorry). Nevertheless, they didn't spoil the story for me.

Would listen to more by this author / narrator.

Despite being short it is filled with things that make you think. I really like books that make you reflect on the characters and events that happen and how you might deal with that situation if you were in it. This is one that had me thinking about it for ages!

When it dawns on you partway through his story why he was acting so strangely at the beginning and realising how he must have been feeling.

I really like it when authors narrate their own books, you then know how things are supposed to be said or expressed that can be ambiguous in the text. You get much more of a feel of exactly how the author imagined it and how they intended it to be understood. I also think Luke is a great narrator, he has a really nice tone of voice for it.

makes you think about your own perspective on life - what would be important to you

I have not read the print version so cannot compare but enjoyed this - I believe that as it was read by the author he applied the appropriate tone and emphasis throughout

there were only a few characters in the book The Man at table 10 himself was my favourite

The man at table 10

It was sad to reflet on the life led by the man knowing the responsibilities that he had.

only a short story but just the right length for quick SCI Fi fix

Having listened to another of the author books, The Stone Man and enjoyed it, i decided to give this short story a go. I found this book to be again, well written and well thought out. The Narration by the author was very good, and i particularly liked the ending, I highly recommend this to anyone who has a fondness for something off kilter.

Really interesting story although read very quickly. It had a good flow and kept my attention throughout. The protagonist has life changing experience and shares this event and his subsequent adaptations to his life. It reminded me that everyday is special, unique and to be celebrated. That ultimately we have little actual effect upon our life path so live each moment while you can.
